bamboo?
Hello again everyone,
I was weeding a very overgrown back corner of My garden when I found what I am sure is a bamboo. It is about 2 feet tall and NOT doing very well. Should it be in the sun? If it should be is it ok to move it now? I also found 2 peony plants but I will not be moving them until the autumn. Also, can any one help Me identify a plant that has oval leaves that are across from each other. They are bright green and have small red/orange berries on them. What ever this is I have tons of it! Thanks again, Lorri |

The ones with berries sound much like Pyracantha
As for Bamboo that would have to be an offshoot from a neighbours garden I would think .......check first "MLL" wrote in message ...

Thanks again, Lorri Sorry cant help with the bambo, but the:- snip bright green and have small red/orange berries on them. is almost certainly Hypericum, (St John's Wort) "Sharon Rose" or "Aarons Beard" has 1" to 2" yellow flowers. The way you describe the plant suggests it is H.Androsaemum which has bright green leaves tinged with reddish purple edges and a bright orange/red berry which follows a rather small insinificant yellow flower. It can grow rapidly, especially with some sunshine and should grow into a nice fairly neat dome shape. The creeping varieties of this plant however are a devil to get rid of and are considered a weed in Aus & NZ Jeff |

Hello,
Your oval-leaved plant is probably Ruscus aculeatus. It is a low-growing evergreen shrub. It is a curiosity in that the 'leaves' are actually flattened stems; the true leaves are tiny and scale-like. There is also a form R. hypoglossum, but the aculeatus form is the usual one found for sale. Spider MLL wrote in message ...
