Tree/Shrub Identification
Hi.
Can anyone identify this tree/shrub please? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ho/tree7ss.jpg It's not mine, but a friends. It had grown to 12/15' in height, but he has cut it back. It's at the flowering stage now. Don't know if it has berries in the autumn I'm afraid. Some more pictures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../leaves1kr.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/tree13qw.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ho/tree9pk.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/tree12nl.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...o/tree26bd.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ho/tree4lo.jpg |

Just to add. There is a passion flower growing through it, and sorry the pictures didn't show. I did use the [img] and [/img] code.

With simple oval leaves like that? I didn't know any of them had anything other than lobed leaves. I'd decided I didn't know (my nearest guess was a Lonicera), so I've been waiting for someone else to tell me. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

Lonicera tartarica (not necessarily Hack's red) was what it put me in mind of, but Googling suggested the leaves should have had slightly more pointed tips. I didn't really understand the later photos and where they fitted in. Think I was confused by the passion flower! -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

It is almost certainly Lonicera tatarica. The var. 'Hack's Red' has
deeper coloured flowers and possibly more acute tips to the leaves. However this is the straight species, which can have leaf tips that are almost pointed to rounded as well as flowers that vary considerably in their depth of colouration (possibly an indication of hybridisation in the distant past) . Its pleasant enough thing and thankfully not invasive in this country. I wouldn't buy it, but if it was already here, I wouldn't be in a tremendous hurry to get rid of it either. It can be moderately showy when carrying its clusters of bright red berries and the birds seem to appreciate it. Expect it to grow up to around 7 feet high and nearly as much across if you leave it to itself. If you don't, it will cope with almost merciless butchery and still romp back from the roots. but may take a year to settle back down to flowering.

Yes I think it is Lonicera tatarica. It has great charachter and I live the contorted trunck and rough bark. It is definatley tree like in form with a main trunk. At present it is almost 2 storeys high and 9ft across. I have not found any information saying it grows that large. http://img217.exs.cx/img217/3387/tree6fz.jpg http://img57.exs.cx/img57/7010/tree16kl.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ral/tree-1.jpg Thanks for the help.
