New Broom?
In article , pronoun fearhowar
writes
Hi,
I need to identify a hedge we have. Nearest I can find in my book is
'Butcher's Broom',
Butchers broom has very tough leathery spiky 'leaves' with the flowers
(and therefore the berries) coming directly out of the middle of them.
but mine has white 'berries' about September, as I
remember. It is about 4 ft high with thin reddish branches dividing near
the top. The first small green leaves are showing now. Can you help?
Thin red branches and white berries sounds like snowberry,
Symphoricarpos (or something similar)
