Before you buy
- Check both leaf surfaces: the upper side should be matte dark blue-grey with deeply set veins, and the underside a solid deep maroon-burgundy; mismatched colouring suggests a different species
- No recorded market price exists for this species yet; treat any quoted price as the seller's own estimate rather than a benchmarked figure
- Confirm the leaf is thick, leathery and stiff rather than thin or floppy, consistent with the described texture
- As a slow-growing dwarf species (20-35cm mature size), be realistic about how long a small offset will take to fill out
