can anyone tell me wot this is?

I have been growing it for 6 months but have no idea what it is :confused:

 

Excuse the weeds, can't do em with one arm

 

It looks like a Shrub of some type :D

 

Thankyou so much Cajary would never have figured that out on my own :D :D

 

Yeah, sorry about that, ac. The leaf looks a bit like a Beech but you'll probably need Walnut for a better I.D.

 

Cajary,

When it was given to me i was told it was a burning bush, being naive i thought ok, i am going to like that :rolleyes:

Not very impressive is it it actually brings attention to the weeds i can't pull

 

Hi,ac. Try this link http://hiway.net~oliverburningbush.htm looks like it may be a plant for the Autumn

 

No, got that wrong. Try http://hiway.net/~oliverburningbush.htm sorry Dizzi :rolleyes:

 

No, that's wrong as well. Google in Eounymus alata "Compactus" that'll do it. Enough, enough, I need a pint. Night Night

 

Cajary, having a bit of a moment there. Will google away and track the 'thing' down :D

ps fank u

 

Cajary,

Googled it and they look beautifully red :D , mine has red stems so i'm off down the garden to search (with magnifying glass) for signs of red leaves

Will look for that bud on the Callistemon as well......

 

Cajary mate,

It has no red leaves but red stems but if you are right i have three of them to give away (seedlings), it looks like it is about 3ft tall now and shooting sideways to about 3ft+

 

Paula, I have an idea what it is but please, please don't send me one. That is the most boring shrub I have ever seen. At least mine has variegated leaves. It is supposed to be beautiful in winter when the red stems stand out. I think it's a dogwood but what type (there are 50 of them) I do not know. They are known for boring leaves but come into their own in winter for their coloured stems. I'll post a picture of mine tomorrow complete with weeds (I have tennis elbow myself at the moment and you are right - weeding - yuk.)

 

Must say my guess would have been dogwood as well John.

 

Glad someone knows what they're talking about, pity it wasn't me :D
