Alphabetical "What plant am I"...Game.

Could it be Houttuynia, which has beautiful leaves?

 

A lovely plant but I'm not sure it would like it with me here in the heat?

Unfortunately, I have to pop over to Spain again early tomorrow (as one does :D ) so can you do "I" for me? I think it's you (or Waco) who has a wonderful "I" plant that I would go for ... I'll PM you.

 

Okay, Marley, since you know what I'd have chosen I've had to change tack after your PM. So, I'll be awkward ...

I am "I", a single species deciduous tree from Asia (ooh, can I be a tree? well, I am )

I am fast growing with large, heart-shaped, red- stalked, dark green leaves and have fragrant greenish flowers in the Spring and Summer.

I am frost hardy particularly after a hot summer.

If I am female, I produce large clusters of red berries in the Autumn that the birds will NOT eat.

What am I?

 

It isn't an easy one.

My flowers are in panicles / clusters.

I make a good shade tree and like moist conditions.

 

Shall we give up and go to a plant?

 

Idesia Polycarpa

 

Why did I have this strange feeling that you would come in and get it? My next clue would have been the Wonder Tree as Ligiri would have just given it away!

Well done, pete ... I'm not surprised!

 

Loooked it up in me boooks, have heard of it but not that well up on it, certainly never heard of "Wonder Tree" or Ligiri.

 

Sounds like a nice tree to have, perhaps for you (the moister conditions) than for me. I know it from my Aussie book ... liking trees myself and always on the lookout, I always go for the not so common ones.

Don't be difficult like me on your choice of plant ...

 

Do I have to come up with one now?
If so, you'll get this easy, it has to begin with a J right.

I'm going for a tree, has large pinate leaves, from N America,grows fast and very large.
Quite common in the UK, very nice timber.

 

Probably a silly guess but are you a Juniperus virginiana, the Red Cedar?

 

Nope, bigger than that, deciduous.
