'Taiyou'

Product Code: 107

Not to be confused with 'Taiyouden,' this shimakou cultivar, which was created in 1973, still is one of the most highly coveted cultivars today. We are offering it at a modest price (well...relatively speaking) because it is still young. As it grows, so will its value.

It is a hybrid of 'Kinkirin' and 'Fukujuryu,' thick around the bottom, with leaves as long as 8 inches. The wide leaves of a grown plant will radiate in a golden color, just like the sun (= "taiyou" in Japanese), with sogashiryu (lengthwise ridges all over the leaves) and tamaryu (ball-like projections among the ridges).

It is a sturdy cultivar, and is easy to grow. Give it relatively strong light to enhance the gashiryu (lengthwise ridges), and plenty of fertilizer.

Nursery: Tatetsuen
