Title: Tangly plant ID please?
Post by: jennym on May 15, 2006, 23:42:57
Can anyone tell me the name of this plant? It has tangly stems, like blackish wire almost and lots of very tiny almost round leaves. It hasn't had any noticeable flowers, I've had it 2 years.

Another shrub that could fit the description would be Corokia cotoneaster

My first thought was corokia, but mine grows a lot tighter, smaller grey leaves and seems to grow distorted. It also has small yellow starlike flowers.
