Could have been a little sunburn on the branches if it looked clean inside. The new growth looks strong, which would be unlikely if there was a...
I like it for a bit of subtlety. Not exceptional for color when compared to similar varieties, but the structure and texture are nice as the tree...
Temperatures do seem to affect coloration (or at least the length of time under such temperatures). Here in South Carolina we would consider it...
There is technically one form of tsuma gaki (or tsume kaki perhaps) from my understanding. However, I believe one of the forms (there are at...

I'm certainly no genetics expert, so I appreciate the advice. Thankfully I have a little time to work on this.
One interesting thing to note about the parentage of Ryusen is that it is reportedly a selection from Jiro shidare, which already has a pendulous...
