    I got my last garden question answered so quickly, so here I go again. The bush in the centre of this photo - about 4' high, 3' wide, the leaves turned a deep reddish at the ends and until the real deep freeze, was still green till about Christmas. What is it?

    It looks like an Acer c. but unsure, as it is too far from the camera...perhaps it is cut back every year by the City works crew?

    A species of Viburnum, possibly Viburnum trilobum.

    Very similar to Viburnum t. but the lobed leaves look more like Virburnum opulus? Definitely not an Acer, thanks Michael.

    Leaf shape isn't right for V. opulus.
