I bought this as Siam Ruby...is it?
Is this a Siam Ruby? I'm beginning to think it's a Basjoo 'Rubra' what do people think?

Re: I bought this as Siam Ruby...is it?
I thought that 'Siam Ruby' developed the color as it got larger.

Re: I bought this as Siam Ruby...is it?
That's not 'Siam Ruby', but it's a little hard to exactly what it is. Best guess would be 'Dwarf Red' but it needs to grow out some.

Re: I bought this as Siam Ruby...is it?
Siam Ruby do start out green but start to get color with the second or third set of leaves, or about 6" high. Sorry, that doesn't look like Siam Ruby to me, either.

Re: I bought this as Siam Ruby...is it?
Thanks for the replies guys.
It seems I have lost a siam ruby, but gained an edible cultivar, I don't know whether to be happy or sad. |
