Shrub/Small Tree ID
Persimmons
9 years ago
The plant's new leaves are VERY glossy, and red. The branched out leaves are bright green and are soft, not fuzzy.
In total, the plant is about 5-6" tall, and seems that it could grow taller if I weren't keeping it in check.
I'm afraid that it's something toxic (like poison sumac), but there's a chance that it's something that fruits. It's growing in a section of the garden where raspberries, mulberries, lilacs, and roses grow. Can anyone identify this plant?
