I would like to identify these 2 plants, found in a garden in New Haven CT. The first jpg is of a small (12-14") plant, that has a very thorny stem, the leaves are somewhat glossy. Anyone know this one? http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=63567&stc=1&d=1246049448 The second jpg is from a shrub. I can't remember seeing 2 different leaf forms on the same plant. Any ideas on this one? http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=63569&stc=1&d=1246049501 thanks for your help
2. Looks like Morus alba. Common name Mulberry. http://images.google.com/images?hl=...q=morus alba leaves&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
I don't think so.. the thorns are small, very sharp and all the way up the main stem and even on the leaf stem. There was what looked like a bud on the top, surrounded by a few leaves in a rosette.. if that helps anyone more..
