Thanks Gabe,
I had no idea they would irradiate them to get mutations, I’m surprised those Dutch growers haven’t already done this or maybe they have? One of the main problem with growing basjoo in the UK is wind damage you just get a new flush of leaves and along comes the wind and wrecks them, I no a number of people that don’t grow them any more because they look unsightly for most of the year, your lucky if you get a couple of weeks were they look good, so the main draw back is there size also people in the north would find it easy to protect them in winter, I think there would be a good market for dwarf basjoo don’t you
