"Phopenia" shrub?
I got a shrub from a homeowner in Oklahoma. She thought it was called
"Phopenia" but I haven't been able to find anything about it on the web. It has it has a woody stem and waxy medium sized leaves that are oval-shaped. It is evergreen but the leaves turn deep red in the spring (very striking). I transplanted the plant in Kansas, and I was curious about cold-hardiness, etc. |

Probably Photinia fraseri, aka 'Red Tipped Photinia'. It grows very well
here in Zone 7, I'm not certain about colder climates. Dave wrote in message om... I got a shrub from a homeowner in Oklahoma.

Thanks David, that appears to be a match - right down to the
characteristic leaf spot ;-) The bad news is that it prefers zones 7-9. It might have a hard time this winter, but I'll enjoy it this summer anyway. "David J. Bockman" wrote in message ...
