I just received some information I was waiting for about this Kurume. I love knowing the provenance of trees and this is a pretty cool background.
This is what the seller just sent me.
originally from France then gifted to a park in Philadelphia Pennsylvania where it was used as a shrub in the landscape. Around 70 years ago it was collected by a local priest who is a bonsai enthusiast. Our company purchased it around 10 years ago. This tree is among some 30 or so trees that are from this park and is believed that these azaleas are over 300 years old.
