Title: Is this really what it says it is?
Post by: JohnnyD on June 24, 2017, 05:13:11 PM: This plant label says Rubus taiwanicola BSWJ317, but all the pics on the net seem to show entirely green foliage!
Is the label correct?

Post by: JohnnyD on June 24, 2017, 06:53:39 PM: The extent to which it is covered with buds rather indicates a degree of maturity Maggi, but I will keep an eye on it,
Thanks.
