TJ on Jun 08, 2013I am a bit confused because the leaves on the right mature plant look somewhat different than the prominent one on the left. Is it vining or just spreading? Has it flowered yet?Helpful Reply

Ivylore on Jun 08, 2013Hmmm... none of them have flowered yet. I do have a clematis growing on the other side of the tree in the first picture; but I have tons of those single stalks plants all over. Perhaps they ARE different plants. I guess I'll let them grow a bit more to see if they do flower and maybe we can tell then. Thanks for all of your help! PS is a dogwood a tree/shrub?Helpful Reply

Susan Roquet on Jun 08, 2013We have 3 red twig dogwood bushes and yes they do bloom. Also have a pink dogwood tree and was just loaded with flowers this year. Both are very beautiful additions to your landscape.Helpful Reply

Sal kemple on Jun 08, 2013Tom e it looks like a filbert brought in by a young, ingenious and perhaps over anxious squirrel that may have forgotten where he planted it for safe keeping and it popped open this spring. So now instead of searching for just one filbert he'll have a bunch in a few years. They get planted in my yard all the time and I'm constantly having to pull them right along with walnuts. After all, they will all grow with little convincing, because once underground they do there thing...grow.Helpful Reply

Sheila Lynn on Jun 08, 2013I have something that looks like this growing in my front yard. Pulled it up for years - finally let it grow out last year and it is stunning. I do not this clemantis tho - still searching for mine but can add a photo of blooms. Maybe not from where I am. Will do next week.Helpful Reply

Julie @ Wife, Mother, Gardener on Jun 08, 2013It looks like a sucker from your tree. Certain trees send them up every year & cutting them off if all that you can do.Helpful Reply

Ivylore on Jun 08, 2013Thanks again for all of the responses. I do think they may be 2 different plants, but I'm going to let them grow up a little and see what happens. If it is a red twig dogwood, I may keep it. The single stalk plants I may just pull up because they are all over the back :0Helpful Reply

Anne gaddis on Jun 09, 2013leave it for a year or so, you will have your answer. you can always dig it up. if it is a red twig it will still be there, if it is a weed it will die back. if it is a red twig it will grow bigger. i have had mine two years and it hasnt bloomed yet. i got the start from a friend , and she said it takes a few years for them to bloomHelpful Reply

Gypsy on Jun 11, 2013The best thing you can do is take a long cutting of it to a nursery & see if they can identify it. Or if there is a county extension office or a college with a horticulture program, you can take it there for identification.Helpful Reply
