What happened? I cut down last year's growth in early spring this
year, if that's got anything to do with it.



Stripes will develop on leaves as season progesses.

I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced. It's 4 ft. high already,
about as tall as it got last year, and not a stripe to be seen! Time
will tell.

It will definitely go stripy later, mine is still plain green too :~)
