    There is a spur coming off the stem which has the variegated foliage. I don`t quite understand how this spur could have such totally differant foliage.:D

    Is that something growing from the rootstock?
    Pics are difficult to decipher )
    It might also be a case of two different scions having been grafted onto the same rootstock. I have heard of experiments in that direction :)
