This is your chance Jimmy ...and the rest of you, also. I was in a metropolitan area on 5-27-05 and drove by this. Needless to say I had to go back and take a better look and get some photos. This tree/shrub is about 8'x15' and I need to get me some. Unfortunately they are not usually found in your local garden center or nursery. Any ideas? What is it?
I was with Ron when I saw the first pictures ... I guess Elderberry but I really can't get a good take on the leaves...
hmm...what were you guys doing...besides looking at pictures? Elderberry ...not. This plant should eventually put on a tree form, 30' to 40' tall and wide.
Cornus walteri. I should note that I didn't "know" the plant, other than recognizing a similarity to other dogwoods I've seen, in particular the way the leaf blade is not flat and the venation.
Correct. Daniel, your too good...I didn't know employees and family members of such could participate in this. heh heh heh
Here are the final three photos that I made of this beautiful plant. This tree, located on the UAH campus, is subject to be eliminated due to a planned project. I hope to be able to propagate it before it's demise.
