Skeeter's Broom
This is a vigerous grower so give some protection in colder areas cause of late growth and tenderness. It is similar to other more dwarf JM’s like Royal with its small tighly clustered leaves. Supposedly a relative of the Bloodgood in smaller form …but doesn’t seem quite as hardy . VERY VERY pretty more so than the Bloodgood and a tree everyone should own even in a container if necessary.
