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

If it is Siam Ruby when does the red colouring happen?

Looks like Dwarf Red.

I thought that 'Siam Ruby' developed the color as it got larger.

when I received mine from Brians Botanicals it was red. It looked nothing like the picture he posted here.It was about the same size too.

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.

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.

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.

Be happy ! Now you have your dwarf red and you still can get your siam ruby :08::08::08::08: :03::0519:
