    You dug it out ???!? Hope it survives for you I’ve heard they respond very poorly to root disturbances. 

    I would say it could very well be variegation. they grow in very poor soil conditions so deficiency in them is not that common. 

    keep us updated though, i hope it lives

    Hey JD, they normally don't transplant well. What I've found with the repens is that if you can remove it from the earth and not disturb the micro roots and keep the entire root structure intact and not disturb the soil, they tend to do ok. Generally can't be done with anything larger than what's in the photos. .

    I live in Alva , I was clearing a common area in an Iona community and spotted this under a cocoplum . Luckily it was easily accesible. As it gets larger I'll post more photos. I'm very curious to see if this isn't a one off or if the new shoots will show the same markings . Have a great day.

    sounds like you know what you’re doing then. should be interesting to see how it develops. it’ll be a slow process.

    i have a serenoa that i keep watch of in my yard and every new leaf takes like a month
