  • Question

    I have these growing on the edge of my property (under some scotch pines) that I cleared of barberry. They came up on their own. I believe they are guelder rose(viburnum opulus) but unsure if it is the American type or European type. I am in Central Maine. I read you can tell by the shape of the small glands on the leaf stem but after comparing them to photos online Im still unsure which type this is. Unable to load pics

    Dear SWH, good morning. Go Botany is currently having difficulties with image uploads. Feel free to email the images of the petiole glands directly to me (ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org) and I'll try to assist you with your question. Best wishes.
