Christer,
I always find the easiest plants to ID are the ones that I have grown or are growing. Are you finding the experience helpful for ID? I know they can look so very different from each other so I wonder if you are able to spot any good keys on them.

To be honest, I am still learning it myself

But in a couple of years I may have found some keys

I'm thinking of growing some of them "hard" and others as usually to get some different results. And of course, some as grafted. I hope I will learn something from that.

Excuse me! I wrote down the wrong species! I meant the E. heinrichiana var inermedia!
