屋久島錦, Yakushima-nishiki, means quite directly "Brocade of Yakushima," reflecting its origins, UNESCO World Heritage Site with a unique ecosystem. This marvelous cultivar is a brocade in all seasons: in Winter, the yellow, green and white striped trunk varies over different sections of the upright plant, so that no view is identical. In Spring, it is adorned by whitish-yellow foliage, turning a speckled light green in Summer, with heavily variegated late-Summer growth, and in Autumn the leaves again turn a deep yellow. It is flawed only by its rarety. (ED) Evaluation name Shimauri kaede
