12 years ago

Found this growing on the side of my shed. Would like to know what kind and if this is a tree? I would think it is a tree because the size of the leaves. Its got multi trunks. Im very new to this garden thingy so please bare with me. If it helps, i live in Socal in Northern San Fernando Valley. Thanks

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)..

First, pictures lie. It is NOT perfect. So thank you for saying nice things. I sanded it with this great Sears multi-purpose battery-powered tool. The sanding head is triangular and about 3" at its widest point. If I had to hand-sand at the beginning, I would never do a project. The sandpaper was 125 grit. Once the main sanding was done, I hand sanded to make it smoother using a finer grit. After sanding I applied 3 coats of MinWax quick-drying Clear Satin Polyurethane. I sanded lightly (by hand this time using fine sand paper) between coats and always wiped it down with mineral spirits before applying the polyurethane. Hope this helps you. I am not all that knowledgeable; this table just took to the finish very well.

not 100% sure - I can't remember if I I bought it from David austins or palatine roses ?? I thought it was from David Austin bc I had it in their signature green pots. Very sadly, I threw it out bc it stayed riddled w/fungus, always had no leaves & was a very weak grower- I'll b purchasing more David Austin roses this fall- going to buy mostly his red varieties bc they're so gorgeous & im lacking his red roses :) thanks guys!

It clearly is not a pomegranate; looks kinds like a Brunsfelsia (yesterday, today, and tomorrow common name)
Google Brunsfelsia and "yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

I would also vote Pomegranate - red petioles, right kind of lenticels on bark, right leaf shape and growing in a position which could well be the result of a stray pip. The bush is a bit gangly probably due to its position. You could try the Name that Plant Forum for a second opinion. My Brunfelsia doesn't look like this.

Well, I am not expert; but I do have several pomegranates at my farm and Brunfelsias in all my gardens... they look exactly like your fotos.

For reference here is a foto of a pomegranate.
