While rearranging some of my trees today I noticed that one of the limbs on my Martinenca Rimada is growing variegated leaves 2 years ago I had one or two leaves this time it seems to be one after another 

I suppose I will keep my eye on the next few leaves that grow and if it continues I'll air layer that limb

Yes beautiful looking tree and leaves.  Very magical.  Love to see how it looks as it grows up.  And if the figlets will show any sign of the variegation?  Thanks for sharing the great pics.  ;-)  Jodi

Then she will lose that arm to air layer. May she grow other arms like it in the future. : )

That tree is going to become a hot ticket item on ebay if the variegation stays persistent...

Thanks all I'll keep you updated on the progression it's almost time to make an air layer just waiting for the limb to brown up a little bit
