Not entirely sure on the ID, think its a DC but colouring and leaf ratios seem a bit off. What do you guys think?

Whole plant. Pstem 4' 2"

P-stem colouring and Petioles. Bad pics but it has a blueish colour to it.

It looks like dc but surely somewhat larger and waxier, how old and how well kept?

Hard to say, its two years oldish but its first year of life it was unhealthy, kept in 1gal nursery pot and in the ground with 2 pups attached and didnt grow more than one foot tall (see the start of my other thread). Separated from its pups last Oct and put under grow lights last winter. It took off under the light and kept on going once it hit soil this spring. So 2 years old but one year of growth essentially. It has been fed well and watered decently. Watered 2-3x a week heavily plus rain. The way its stretching still seems like it will have a mature height over 6'.

Actually it looks very similar to one here around the same age and size, this one has a little more black on the trunk and less red, but then who knows if this is really DC , Great location!

DC seems very likely for this one.
