Let's Play Name That Shrub!
I saw an interesting shrub today and I'm wondering if someone might be able
to identify it. Actually, I guess it was more of a small tree than a shrub -- it was about 4 feet tall with a weeping shape (although the shape might have been contrived, since I saw it at a fancy office building). It had long, thin branches that drooped downward (hence the weeping), and each branch had a series of regularly-spaced leaf shoots placed in twos opposing each other. Each leaf shoot had seven-fingered pattern that looked exactly like marijuana. (hehe...That's what caught my eye at first!) The branches were a mossy green color and the leaves a darker green tinged with burgundy. The leaves really did look almost exactly like pot leaves -- they had the same long, tapered shape with jagged edges in the same leaf pattern, except they weren't as wide as marijuana leaves. I don't have a photo of the tree/shrub/bush, but if any of you master gardeners out there know what it might be, please let me know. It was really beautiful and I'd like to find a couple plant. I sneaked a small cutting and am trying to root it, so I'd really like to know what it is. Cheers, Rhonda Alexandria, VA - Zone 7a/b |
