Anyone know this shrub?
« on: November 27, 2020, 01:57:33 PM »
This shrub/miniature tree has been in and out of my minigardens for years and thus has no label.I seem to remeber it as an Ulmus but ....!
Can anyone identify it please?

Hi John, I know this may be way off the mark but could it be a form of Sedum spurium.
Having never grown them I have no idea if very very old specimens get this woody.

It has always been woody Graham - and not at all succulent. J.

The  leaves  look really  succulent - I was  thinking  a  Sedum, too.

How about: Euonymous japonicus 'Rokujo'?

It can't be Ulmus.  It has opposite leaf arrangement.
