In autumn the shoots formed during the year are a bright green colour, with tinges of purple and grey on the exposed side. The older branches are a glossy dark green or purplish-brown. The buds are arranged singly, but close together, near the top of the shoot, and are conspicuous for their pale yellow-green colouring and their red tips. They are found springing from five different points along.
