  • Question

    I'd like to know what this plant is that I found growing near my home in southern Vermont. The leaves on this 14" tall plant measure about 1" long. I'm thinking it might be some type of Hawthorn but haven't found one with leaves that are as rounded at the tips as this. Thank you.

    Dear lmc825, good morning. I can't see the image well enough to help you. I need a close-up of the nodes (where the leaves arise from the stem). If you have such images, feel free to send them to ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org and I can examine them. Looking forward to helping solve this mystery. Best wishes.
