Japonica has been a disappointment for me but Ps. Viridula is anything but. It has been more vigorous and hardier, plus I think it is much more attractive - think Japonica but with 3 branches at the nodes instead of 1. This one has hit around 3 meters in 3 years whereas Japonica in a couple of different site conditions is only around 1 meter in 4 years and top kills every year while this guy suffers mainly leafburn. Too early to say for sure how hardy but several more degrees than Japonica.
