Does anyone know what this bush/tree is?
+54
Its about 2 feet high, when the leaves come out in the spring they are a dark purple. Then they slowly change to green with a purplish cast. It's very close to an air conditioning system. I can't seem to find any others in the area. It's very pretty with light brown woody limbs/stems?
Close up of leaves, which are about as big as your thumb.
Underside of leaf.
I think it is a "snow bush"
Yes, that is a "snow bush". The first time I saw these were in Hawai, they grow all over and are beautiful, they like the tropical weather. The name is appropriate since they kind of resemble snow on a pretty green/pink leaves with a deep maroon color.
I have these in NC. Never knew what they were. If, this is what I have, they have a small pink flower.
It looks very similar to a Loropetalum that we have in Texas.
? An october rose
The leaf shape doesn't match the Hawaiian Snow Bush and they can get quite tall (I pruned mine into a small tree). Search Breynia disticha on Google for pics. Of course plants have different names across the globe, so yours may still be a "snow bush", just not a Breynia disticha.
doesn't look like one to me.
It looks like a Hawthorne bush, but hard to tell from pic.
There is an app for that called "MyGardenAnswers", give it a try!
Looks like a ornamental Crab-apple tree to me, the seeds grow anywhere.
Has it bloomed before?
Snow Bush for sure, I've had them for 30 years, & they spread all over the place from the root system, Google has good pictures of them.
Whatever it it move it away from A/C before it gets into the housing.
looks like a pineapple guava bush/tree
If there's thorns on it, I'd say it's a barberry bush; there's a dwarf variety that's used for hedges. If there's no thorns, it's not barberry.
Try: https://ask.extension.org. anything about plants, gardening, etc.
No, not a Barberry bush, I have several. The leaves are totally different.
A Snow bush and a Snow Ball Bush apparantly are two different bushes. The Snow Ball Bush has white small blooms that are together to form a large snow ball. You didnt mention anything about blooms. Ive never seen a bush that looks like your picture.
Loropedelum 100%
Loropetalum have the variegated leaves, but they're smooth; hers look toothed on the edges...
I have one too, I was told it's a service berry. Gets berries for the birds
i looked it up on the internet and that's what it said my picture was a snow bush. There is also a snowball bush.
The snowball doesn't have the woody stems Susan's plant has. But none of the other suggested plants seem to match it exactly either. My suggestion, Susan, is to take a single healthy leaf and stem to a local nursery or your local university horticultural department.
Rose bush. I've got 2 roses in my front yard that have been 'taken out' 3x, 2x by landscaper and once by a friend doing yard work for me. Roses and blackberry vines are related. Both are very tough to kill. Those look exactly like the roses that Will Not Die in my yard.
Hi I am in NSW Australia ,I know this shrub
It's a Crabapple..I have several..depending on age it should flower soon in the spring!

Crabapple
its a crabapple
get rid of it
dig it up or spray it w roundup
The picture of the leaves I saw looks like a Rose,could be a wild one ,found a cool place to grow,the jagged leaf also says Rose, any thorns?
i would take a cutting and show it to a nursery. valley view farms in cockeysville seem to know every plant, bush, tree etc.
sometimes roundup is th answer

My Snowball Bush and my Hydrangea were totally different in growth. the bush can get quiet big with woody branching of small limbs. The Hydrangea is a tender growth and only grew about 36" or little less with large blooms. However the flowerering can resemble each other but the bush flowers are smaller. I finally cut the bush down as it got old and didnt look as good as it once did.
The Snowball Bush can grow 12 to 15 feet tall and makes a great ornamental plant to stand by itself. It has woody branching and makes a beautiful display in the Spring of the white blooms which are smaller than the Hydrangea. It is not the Hydrangea that is about 36" inches tall and produces large blooms.
The plant you show picture of is not a Snowball bush which has larger green leaves. Ive seen that plant somewhere but cant think where...maybe at a nursery. Im sure a nurseryman can identify it for you.
it looks like Oakleaf Hydrangea Shrubs the flowers turm yan after a while they have many of these in bryant park, in nyc
whatever u do it your way and i will do it mine
