Some have stated this has smaller leaves than Yuri hime but it is really nothing like it in fact larger , but still small like most dwarfs.. It is just one very pretty dwarf that is not as touchy as the Yuri .it is very easy to grow and grows on you. it is also much faster growing and bigger and not quite as clustered . A good collectors tree I personally like it better than Yuri but it is not similar so that is personal taste not a comparison...
