That one looks very similar to my upright onilahensis I got from Ron Lawyer. If it is, I’m surprised it would burn in the sun. I will post a picture of mine tomorrow.

Wow, that does look much more like your upright onilahensis (on right) than its baronii "brothers" (on left).

Can't say for sure of course since the official label said "baronii" but I'm going to mentally tag it as a "NOID - but possibly an upright onilahensis". As a test, I'll probably retry it in sun later... but much more slowly... and after it has had a chance to recover. Thanks for the help!

….I thought it might be an upright Onilahensis... but the leaves "fried" quickly in my sun tolerance test.

Stacey, I don’t think it’s Onilahensis. I’ve got an upright variety I got as a small 1G with only a single stem 2yrs ago. I threw it in the ground about 6 months after getting it in blasting full sun facing West so it gets no protection in the hottest part of the day.. It now has 5 trunks and has never got any leaf burn at all. It’s actually been a pretty good grower for me. 
 

if I was to guess, it would be a form of the Baronii complex like you stated. I’ve found Baronii can take some sun but not full sun, especially when young. Mine do best with some protection in the afternoon sun.

our over the top biosecurity laws Plus the lack of interest in foreign seed merchants willing to help us
