Author Message   Laruep  Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 03:04 pm EST :    Hi, the landscaper planted the shrub pictured below ... would love to know what it is ... Laruep - CO, Zone "2B"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 03:20 pm EST :    Someone may get it from the photos you posted, but if not, larger photos would be very helpful. Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 04:32 pm EST :    The middle pic makes me think of Smoke Bush,(Cotinus) Treelover - County Durham,UK, Zone "8/9"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 04:48 pm EST :    The leaf shape is wrong for cotinus: http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=cotinus&ie=UTF-8&oe= UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"   Laruep  Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 09:15 am EST :    Couldn't post larger pictures due to web site size restrictions. The plant looks like it is about 2' X 2' ... maybe that will help. Thanks for your replies. Laruep - CO, Zone "2B"   Laruep  Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 09:21 am EST :    Could it be knotweed? Laruep - CO, Zone "2B"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 11:32 am EST :    If not larger pictures, more pictures would help. Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 08:30 pm EST :    I think you're right... compare it to Fallopia japonica: http://www.botanypictures.com/plantimages/fallopia%20japonica%20var%20compa cta%2004.jpg Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 02:55 am EST :    Ooh i like that Fallopia,i see from the flowers its related to Knotweed. Treelover - County Durham,UK, Zone "8/9"   Laruep  Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 09:48 am EST :    The landscaper now thinks it is dwarf fleeceflower which on the internet says it is related to knotweed. We must be getting close. Laruep - CO, Zone "2B"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 03:58 pm EST :    As I mentioned, I think it's Fallopia japonica, which is a knotweed (Polygonum. Certain knotweeds were reorganized into the genus Fallopia. Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"
