It kind reminds me of a hydrangea leaf. But I'm not sure what it is. Sorry. Jeremiah |

| At first I thought it could be a mulberry, but the way the stem's growing suggests it could be a type of vine - grape, glory vine, etc. |

| I'd vote for a grape vine. They CAN be bonsai'd, but I have no experience with them. |

| agree, wild grape. I'm constantly weeding the buggers! The develop fair sized underground trunks if they aren't pulled as young plants. |

| i did a little picture hunting and found out that it is deff. a grape vine i am going to try growing it as bonsai but its a lil weird being as it has all these long finger things growing at the junctions. oh well . thanks for the i.d. |

| the tendrels (finger thingies) will really grab on to things! Grow the wild grapes, they make fantastic jelly, if you can get to them before the birds do! |

| that looks like a grape we have similar shoots all over the yard |
