What, exactly, is this tree/bush?
I bought an interesting plant at the local farmers market last
weekend. The seller called it a Patio Plant and a neighbor called it a Patio Peach. It has long slender leaves that fold slightly down the center vein, and are wavy along the edges. They sprout a dark red and are folded completely in half. As they mature, they open and become a dark green. The new leaves actually feel like they are dried out, and get a little softer feeling as time goes on. They have 1 - 3 trunks, with very rough bark that is kind of bumpy (think very coarse sand paper). I am told they will only get 3 -4 feet tall and wide and are considered a very small tree. I gather they set fruit along the stem that looks kinda like a peach, but is inedible. Anyone know what this is and how I should look after it? |
