A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? My neighbor asked me.....

to post this picture on here. She's in her 70's and her daughter just moved nearby and has a shrub in her yard that needs ID'd.....It's about 3-4 ft tall. And is just now coming out in leaves for the year, so it's not evergreen. No blooms on it yet, and we're in zone 6.

Neither have a digital camera, and she asked me if I could post a pic of the leaf to see if that would help. All the leaves are spotted like that.

Euonymus fortunei Emerald 'n' Gold

Maybe?

or acuba?

i was thinking acuba japonica

that is a very pretty gold speckled plant.

I wish it were but it can't be.......Acuba Japonica is evergreen and this plant is deciduous, and AJ is hardy to zone 7. I'm in 6a.

It looks a lot like it though....

I'm going to see if she can somehow get a real pic of the shrub and email it to me.

Resize please Loz

I'm such a complainer....but if the pic is too large it won't load for me.

Darn photobucket.......it should be resized, I hate when it doesn't work right---that happens a lot with PB. Let me log back in and I'll make it even smaller than it should already be.
