| Hi all,
We recently moved into a new house and there is a shrub on the left side of our foundation that we love and would like to get another to balance off on the right side. It is an evergreen, about 5-5.5' that has small green 'berries' that started to appear late spring and have continued through the summer. I have attached a pic of the leaves here and one of the 'berries' below. Any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated. TIA! |

| The fruit photo is a bit out of focus, but I'd guess Pieris japonica, common name lily-of-the-valley shrub or Andromeda. Do a web search for photos to see if that's right. Creamy spring flowers, the fruit will actually dry (called a capsule) and it's the same family as rhododendrons and so likes acid soil that isn't dry or soggy. |
