East coast of central Florida, the couple of cold nights this winter (upper 20's and frost) fried the leaves. All the leaves showing are since then.

It hasn't fruited yet but I think soon, but has produced about 8 pups. I think it would be hard to beat for color tho.

WoW!! If you placed that next to mine, you'd swear they were not even close to the same type at all. Mine has short thick petioles, and the red is more like dark maroon. Also, yours has narrower leaves. I love that red color.

There must be different types of Dwarf Red. This has an 8 ft p-stem at the date of this photo.
