tree with heart-shaped leaves
Comments (4)Thank you! I have two enormous trees near my pool and no one could tell me what they were. Now I know they are Katsura! I have been at this property for twenty years and they were at least 10 years old when we moved in. They are absolutely beautiful....See MoreShrub- leaves kind of heart-shaped
Comments (14)I've looked up Mulberries. Do they all have serrated leaves? It's hard to tell in the picture, but I think this bush's leaves are pretty smooth on the edges. I'll try to get a better picture of the leaves in the morning....See MoreTree with large heart shaped leaves
Comments (5)I think I do as well and they are not pods of an empress tree. The leaves are distorted enough that I didn't peg it immediately as cercis, but I think floral is probably correct. Juvenile paulownia leaves are enormous, larger than mature tree leaves, and these do not look large enough to be catalpa (hard to tell sizing in photos). It is, no matter what tree, too close to the house behind it....See MoreWhat plant has heart shaped seeds?
Comments (11)A Native plant too to many part of the US too. That's if you have the seed for that exact species (Heracleum maximum syn. H. lanatum). Apiaceae is a big family and there are more than one species of Heracleum known as Cow Parsnip. If it were not for the fact this plant can cause skin sensitivities I would grow it. It is a very beautiful plant in spring, but prefer to enjoy it from a distance! Some vendors do sell seed :D PS...didn't you say your seed had just one darker line/seed down the center? My book says the seed of the H. lanatum (AKA H. maximum) has seed that are flattened on my side and rounded on other and has distinctive ridges, but no picture. Parts of the plant are edible and medicinal, but this plant can be easily confused with other members of this family like Water Hemlock, Water Parsnip and Giant Hogweed if not ID properly. I found this picture of Google images of the seed from H. lanatum (H. maximum). Hope this helps..... Vera Here is a link that might be useful:...See More- 7 years ago
