    Answer

    Dear DavidBlair, it may well be that species--if this person is knowledgeable in cultivated plants you should go with that source. This website and my expertise are restricted to wild plants of the northeastern United States. I cannot see the images clearly enough to identify leaf arrangement. Thanks for sharing your results. Best wishes.
