I've often whittled a branch of crab apple that had a beautiful purple or red tint when "green". The color always faded as the wood dried out. My sticks all came from the same tree, so I suppose some other might be different. But I was disappointed the first couple of times.
I was thinking that in a related discussion a year or two back, that Del had indicated that the red/purple color in many of these pigmented-wood trees didn't 'hold'.
A NAFEX member sent me some scions a couple of years back that had wood the deepest purple I'd ever seen - looked like someone had squashed a pokeberry(Phytolacca americana) on it. While surveying the nursery beds last weekend, I'm sorry to see that that young tree appears to have succumbed to borers or last summer's drought - may have to beg another piece of scionwood at some point in time.
