  • Question

    unknown plant. What I know: 3 leaves at each node I strongly suspect its woody. leaves are bright green finely toothed ovals, matte surface on top with shiny undersides, veins lighter than the rest of the leaf, size 30mm x 55mm. stem and newest growth are slightly reddish. growing in a rich soil/compost mix that was brought to site, and mulched in pine/hemlock barks. may have arrived as a piece of root or stem rather than a seed. about 12" tall and growing.

    Answer

    Dear FogFriend, good afternoon. I'm sorry I cannot help you with this identification. It would be helpful to know where this plant is growing (i.e., location information is very important for determining species names for plants). With that information, I might be able to direct more questions to you to arrive at an answer. Best wishes.
