Hi, I recently bought a condo and this plant is growing and not sure what it is supposed to be. Can you please help me identify it? I cut a branch off and it sitting on my couch. Thanks! Melissa
boogermelissa, I really can't see enough of the plant to determine anything. I think we would need a closer photo of the plant, better to take the picture where the plant is growing and if possible in a larger size. Descriptions of the form, size and shape of the plant will help as well.
Hello, The plant has bamboo like qualities. At the end of the "bamboo" strand, there is brown like buds, and brown leaves. It looks like it can potentially bud into something. The plant is about 3-4 ft high and 2-3 ft wide. Attached are two new pictures of the actual plant. Hopefully you can see it better. Thanks, Melissa
Broom? Spartum or related genera. http://www.maltawildplants.com/FABC/Spartium_junceum.php Mormon Tea, Ephidra sp. http://www.sungardensinc.com/Shrubs/Mormon-Tea-Shrub.html
Broom immediately came to mind for me as well, but given it's hard to tell by the pic, an alternate possibility could be winter jasmine (jasmine nudiflorum). Can't tell if it's arching toward the light, or (as per the jasmine) arching by nature. On second look, definitely appears to be more arching by nature--the branches in the foreground in particular....though I suppose various brooms do this as well..
As indicated by multiple possibilities being thrown up subsequently you still need to put up better pictures to get a good answer here.
