Don't all the Platycadus orientalis look like death during winter? Oh, I mean a wonderful bronze color depending on the way you want to look at it. They look dead to me but when spring comes around they revitalize and pop with great color.
Last year mine never popped in spring but struggled with partial recovery thru the summer.Regarding the name Bob Stewart said Van Hoey sent a plant with just his name on the package.Kind of how he writes his books.
Gamey has a bad memory, last year in Juli he also made a topic here of this plant...
The late Dick van Hoey-Smith didn't send a plant, it was some person from the U.S. who took some cuttings of the a variegated Platycladus at the Trompenburg Arboretum in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Because there was no name tag on this plant, he wrote the temporary name 'Van Hoey-Smith' on it. This name started to live it's own life in the U.S. later on.
