I am also including a link to a ginseng hunting forum where I have a picture of the roots... The post is titled: 'Question: Have I Found Ginseng???' ---third post down. I think you have to sign up to view messages though. Here is a link that might be useful: Ginseng Forum

Wow, thank you for all your suggestions. I'm thinking it must be a box or privet honeysuckle. My plan is to cut it down to about a foot (as someone indicated above). Over the years, as it grew, the owners just trimmed the side of the shrub so that it wouldn't block the path on the side of the house. So it just grew higher and higher and now has started leaning over the path. So now it's just an annoyance and gets beat up on by anyone walking down the path. Knowing what it is I can now get it healthy and healthy-looking again. Thank you again! Your efforts are much appreciated. flora uk: there are some red leaves on top that have fallen from a nearby japanese maple, but it's all just the honeysuckle in the photo.

Definitely not Brunfelsia. Brunfelsia has alternate leaves and Pomegranate are opposite. Plus Pomegranate has angled twigs, different leaf shape and size and different veination pattern. These all support the first identification. I think the reason you are confused is due to that fact that juvenile plants have slightly different leaf morphology (larger leaves) than mature specimens (as the one you provide)..

I found this at experts@about.com: "The date of the set is on the back of the glass on the mirror to the dresser. The mirror backing has to be removed to get to the back of the glass itself. The date will be in dark gray on the glass itself." I'm not sure how much trouble this would be to do, but it would give you a start anyhow. Good luck!
