Douglas Hunt on Nov 18, 2014I'm not sure if Ligustrum is hardy in your area, but that looks like the cultivar "Jack Frost." See: http://plantilus.com/plantdb/LiguJapoJack/Leaves_close.htmlHelpful Reply

Connie Mar on Nov 18, 2014We have an euonymus bush similar to this in the front of our house. It keeps growing, spreading (we've been in our house 21 years). We trim every year to keep it from growing out over the driveway and sidewalk, or too tall. If we did not trim, I expect it would start to look like a tree.Helpful Reply

Janet B on Nov 18, 2014I lean toward variegated Pittosporum. I would also just pull it out if it is tree-size.Helpful Reply

Mary Lou R on Nov 18, 2014It is a variegated pittosporum. I use it in floral arrangements, on table runners with votives and flowers interspersed, and tied with ribbons for gift wrap.Helpful Reply

LisaF on Nov 18, 2014Pittosporum answers are correct. Looks like the varigated varietywhich i also have in central texas. You can cut them back signicantly to return them to bush form.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Nov 19, 2014Variegated pittosporum is not hardy north of zone 8. I don't know how it would be making it in Maryland.Helpful Reply

Lisa Salerno on Nov 20, 2014We're technically zone 7b here in southern MD, Douglas, so a plant that weathers zone 8 could conceivably survive here. The plant in question is in a rather protected back yard within sight of the Potomac. Until recently, our winters have been fairly mild. My guess is that if it is pittosporum, it's just barely managed to survive, and that would seem to explain it's roughshod appearance. It has a small seed pod with ridges like a pumpkin, (as you can see in the photo) and produces a bright orange seed. Unfortunately, most of the photos of pittosporum with fruit do not resemble this. I'm not entirely convinced that this is the plant we're trying to ID. We have not seen the plant in bloom, since the home was only recently purchased. I'll continue to field any suggestions as to what it might be; all our local nurseries are closed at this time of year, so perhaps in the spring we'll take a piece to one of them. Again, thanks for your answers!Helpful Reply
