It looks just like mine and they are in a tree..its winter here..so conditions are less than ideal right now

Hi HDD, your ionantha also has curling leaves? I am just not sure what it might be an indication of, or if it's even a sign that the plant is unhappy, but I suspect is it because the standard shape seems different to me, with the leaves pointing straight. Is yours in a tree that has lost its leaves? Could it be the result of too much light?

Mike,
There are many different varieties and forms of T. ionantha. What I see in your pics looks very healthy to me. Check out all the photos of T. ionantha on fcbs.org. I'll think that should help reassure you that your plant is doing perfectly fine!

Thanks Paul! You're right, I should look around, it might just be a variant. Thanks again,

Mike

Mike, there are probably over 20 different forms of ionantha. Yours looks great. Except for a few forms, you need a more mature plant to really peg the right name down.

Thanks Gonzer, I see what you mean, I did a little looking around online and saw plenty of pics of ionantha that display similar leaves to the variety I have, so I guess I am no longer worried that I have done them harm! Thanks for your help.

Mike
