  • Question

    On the entry path to Hebron Town Forest, which takes you through a field of sorts, I found this alternate leaved shrub. I generally don't concern myself with non-natives, but can you tell me what this is? Is this Cotinus coggygria? If so, it isn't listed for Grafton Co, NH on your site.

    Answer

    Dear gdewolf, good morning. Yes, those do look like the leaves of Cotinus coggygria. Do you feel this is an intentional planting or an escape that has made its way to this location without being planted? Please email me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org so that I can confirm this as a naturalized plant and add the respective county to the Go Botany maps. Thank you.
