Article: This is the plant that all the other options (called "cultivars") were cultivated from. It has a narrow reddish purple band around the edges of its green leaves. This plant has a yellowish white band on its leaves that separate the red from the green. It may even appear white or yellow from a distance. This is perhaps the most unique-looking of the cultivars. Its outer red band is very prominent, leading it to appear red or pink. This tree has the same color pattern as the original marginata, but its leaves are a bit different. The stems will produce growths that have wider and tougher leaf patterns than the other trees. Groups of leaves grow in dense sphere shapes.
