Before I got to see one for the first time in person, I always used to think that this variety was overrated.
However, in person, the margins on this variety have an endlessly fascinating, almost luminescent quality that I've never seen in another variety. I never seem to get tired of looking at it.
I guess I can see why it's considered the quintessential Neo variety.
I guess Kakuozan - 覚王山 is a bean leaf. What a wonder plant.
Yup. Beanie with textured leaves plus chirifu variegation.
The variety is said to have been made by crossing Benikujaku and Yodonomatsu, then sibbing the offspring to create Musomaru, then Musomaru was crossed with Fugaku, then those offspring were sibbed to create Kakuozan.
Mainly Seed Engei and a vendor in Korea, Barampungranwon.
On the internet is the website:
Barampung.com
I suspect yes.
Also, am I correct that they handle all the legal requirements for shipment to the US and all a US customer need do is order from them paying all charges without having to get involved with government plant and customs inspection issues?
Also, I note that 2 week delivery is projected. Are the plants shipped in such a way as to minimize dessication and other issues (mechanical, etc.)?
