Kathleen Panama, NY (Zone 5a) August 28, 2008 7:17 AM Post #5477592 definitely not strawberry, possibly blackberry. Resin Northumberland (United Kingdom) (Zone 9a) August 28, 2008 1:11 PM Post #5478882 None of those; a tree seedling of some sort. Looks vaguely Fraxinus-like, but not certain it is that. Resin debofkolkata Kolkata (India) September 10, 2008 3:09 AM Post #5532673 I agree with Kathleen. After serious web searching it appears to be Rubus aethiopicus [HYPERLINK@www.aluka.org] However I'll wait for more opinions and blooms/berries till I call the thread SOLVED. Alistair Nowra, NSW, (Australia) (Zone 9b) September 10, 2008 6:43 AM Post #5532811 Deb I dont thjink this is Rubus. It seems to have opposite leaves. I agree with Resin: a tree seedling of some sort, but I would suggest Bignoniacae maybe Spathodea?? debofkolkata Kolkata (India) September 12, 2008 4:44 AM Post #5541834 I'm sorry, I was wrong! Thanks Alistair for your hint - it is Tabebuia donnell-smithii, definitely Bignoniacae. I just saw a mature plant ~15 ft high. I wish I could make it a bonsai, any info in this regard from forum members? Thanks.
