One of the most sought after ornamentals. New shoots appear green and over a period of 9 months to a year, canes begin to freckle and turn ebony black. Very sensitive to salt and other harsh contents in soil. If you plant in soil with high PH levels, a few annual applications of products such as “Mir-Acid” will keep foliage from tanning. Running type.
