Does this plant looks familiar? Plant ID please!
Comments (10)It's a fig! Exact leaf shape and texture don't conform to any standard and are quite variable, especially with seedlings. I've seen that much variation on a single plant. The side views clinched it for me, since the stem, the petioles, and the new bud all have the fig gestalt. The major difference between fig and mulberry is size: fig has bigger, thicker growth all around. New mulberry leaves have two upward pointing bracts where the petiole connects to the stem....See MoreMimosa-Looking Plant, ID help, please.
Comments (4)Jeanne, I did some research on the Goog and I really don't think these seedlings are Gleditisia triacanthos, Honey Locust. It took me a while but, I finally found a honey locust seedling image to view. They don't look the same. The honey locust doesn't have those little pointy things at the tips of the leaves like the ones I have pictured. It's probably going to turn out to be some type of weed. I shoveled some soil in that bed that came from the woods across the street. There must have been some seeds in that soil. I've spent a lot of time in the woods for the past month or so trying to clear out ivy, honeysuckly & wild grape vines. I haven't run across any plant or tree that has a mimosa-type leaf. Jeanne, you're a trooper for trying to help me and I thank you so much. You're tops in my book!!! Bon...See MoreHelp ID'ing two plants please
Comments (2)The leafy one looks like a Senecio. If it has a yello daisy like flower, it is. The spikes one is a Deuterochonia, previously called Abrometiella. Mir is Avery spikey bromeliad, and grows like a succulent rather than like the soft leaved bromeliads....See Moreplant ID please... (bamboo looking plant)
Comments (5)Beautiful plant, but be very careful. It can be extremely difficult to remove from unwanted areas. A raised border planter won't necessarily be sufficient to contain spread--it can send rhizomes down and then laterally. (Picture down a raised planter and under a 3-4' concrete walkway.) If brave enough, I would put it in a solid bottomed planter with just drainage holes below, on top of solid concrete. And then be very careful with the pruning pieces. Definitely do not reuse the soil. I love the look of the plant, but don't dare introduce it into my CA garden....See More41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal)
