  • Question

    this is just leaf set but hopefully that will be enough to narrow down by family or genus! this is from a pretty arching shrub in the woodland behind my home, right along an old fenceline. i think it might've been planted, but the leaves are thick and tough with little spiny serrations and clusters of white flowers in spring.

    thatonetreetho, good afternoon. I wish I could help, but from the image provided, I'm not able to assist. If this is a cultivated plant, it will make things much more difficult. If you can get images of the flowers in the spring, I'm certain we can get you started. Best wishes.
