Identification Area

No nuts yet @pete - I bought it as a whip about 18 months ago. Even though it's only a couple of feet tall in a pot, the foliage is enormous. I have a slow project to clear an area at the start of the woodland and plant a mixed orchard (sometimes pretentiously called a food forest!). I have 2...

Thank you, I can see where the carpet part of the name may have come from.

Definitely an interloper, which is quite common in bought plants at this time of year. If that was mine, I'd empty the pot and separate the plants, and then repot the Campanula, but I appreciate you may not want to do that. The alternative is to do as others have said about removing the foliage...

My tree books are not very good, so I googled it and that was the nearest I could find. Some of the pictures were very close. But I can't be certain. Hopefully it will get some flowers. The leaves look glossy and smooth. But it is similar to a maple isn't it.

Unfortunately trichlopyr is a selective systematic weedkiller that acts on dicotyledons it doesn't work on monocotyledons (grasses) so you can use it to kill dandelions and such like in your lawn. The bad news is that bamboo is basically a grass relative so trichlopyr does not affect it..

Really clear pics including close ups is most helpful for accurate id. Shadows make it harder. This is Geranium sanguineum var striatum. I agee with others it is not right for Wargrave Pink .

I hadn't noticed the title, I went straight to the descriptions ! but never mind, I suppose a plant can be identified wherever it's growing.

I found the same with the sharpies, and also with a pen that came with the labels and was supposed to be weatherproof. Pencil lasts well. Last autumn I bought a paint pen for labelling my bulb pots and that held up through all the rain.
