Unidentified shrub #1
« on: March 12, 2007, 12:52:51 »
My landlord has agreed to let me try and sort out a rather overgrown shrub border at the house. I started off yesterday by pruning back the buddleja.  Although I recognise some of the shrubs there are many that I don't know the names of, so I was hoping for some help in identifying them.

Oops just realised that I haven't paid for photo's this year!  will be back later with photo's  ::)

Personally I would have said an Escallonia of some sort maybe

Can I change my mind and agree with ACE  ;D

Am I right in thinking the common name is the stawberry tree? probably wrong there too!

Regards

I'd have said Escallonia too.
Lesson for life:
1. Breathe in     2. Breathe out     3. Repeat
