Variegated Arundinaria gigantea

Post by Brian_K »

I found some variegated arundinaria gigantea in that cleared grove nearby. I apologize for the quality, it was on a cell!

I had dug some for Darwin Nelson years back. There was one with variegation in that batch. I do not know if it was stable or not.

not to burst a bubble, but I have noticed that often I get varigated leaves when a plant is re-growing from a severe stress event.... my multiplex tiny fern and fernleaf both have some varigated leaves right now, after the winter kill back.... if the grove was cleared, and this is re-growth, that is what you may be seeing, although it would not hurt to dig that culm after it all leafs out and see what happes with any shoots from it.
