Mystery Shrub
6 Answers
In my daughters back garden is a very tall shrub (about 12 feet). It has dark red stems, and medium green leaves shaped a bit like pelargonium leaves but with a pointed end. All the leaves are covered with little red shoots, these are actually growing on the leaf surface. I have never seen anything like it, I have trawled through my gardening books and can't find it. She has only been in the house since Sep 09 so has not seen it do whatever it does. Is this actually a shrub or is it a shrub with a disease? Could it be some wild triffid and not a shrub at all?. We are waiting to see what develops from these red/pink shoots but if anyone knows what it is I would be grateful for your advice. Thank you
