"Peter Jason" in :

Thank you for this information.
I happened to be at this nursery (actually it's a megamart with a
plant section) last night and I noticed all the remaining stock of
Golden Ashes were performing the same way.

maybe the grower systematically goofed the whole batch.. grafted the wrong block or rows.. incompatible rootstock?


It is a Golden Ash.

It has been grafted to some rootstock.

Now the rootstock is shooting and the Golden Ash scion looks sick
and colourless and not even budding at all.
