I purchased a 3 gallon plant labeled Saxifraga cv. hybrid SAXIFRAGACEAE from a botanical garden. Label said "ornamental deciduous tree w/ lite green foliage that turns bright orange in the fall. Prefers sun, tolerates clay loan. Not easily transplanted." I've searched the web, but alas no reference! Any ideas on what this plant's botannical name might be so I can learn more about it??? Or has anyone had any experience with this tree?
Saxifraga are all low growing perennials with their flower stems rarely exceeding 2 feet tall. The family saxifragaceae used to include shrubs that now have their own families. These shrubs include Currants and Gooseberries (Grossulariaceae family) and Hydrangeas, Deutzia, Carpenteria, Philadelphus (Hydrangeacae family). Perhaps googling some of these plants or their families might help you identify the plant you have? Or perahps it may be as simple as just a tagging error. Good luck! -Eric
