OK gardening freaks I need help! (identify this pic of my bush) - GoFuckYourself.com

RRRED · 02-12-2005, 06:04 PM

This bush in front of my house is starting to block my walkway. I'm scared to just cut it wherever cuz I know you have to do it in a certain spot or whatever.

Does anyone know what in the hell it even is? And where you cut it? It's getting a little pink fluff of blossoms just this month so will I ruin it if I cut it all up now? Should I wait?

sonofsam · 02-12-2005, 06:05 PM

i thought you meant different kind of gardening..... i have no clue about normal outside plants sorry

Pete · 02-12-2005, 06:05 PM

V_RocKs · 02-12-2005, 06:05 PM

You can cut that down to almost to the ground and it will look about the size it doesn now in a year.

S P A N N O W · 02-12-2005, 08:24 PM

Well said, you have to be prepared before going into battle

Tala · 02-12-2005, 10:03 PM

My grandmother had several of those. It's a form of forsythia, and will grow back just fine.

Easton · 02-12-2005, 10:03 PM

it kinda looks like a rose bush, no?

DESIREbyDESIGN · 02-12-2005, 10:07 PM

I have no idea what sort of plant it is but just hack into it now if you really want to get rid of it.

Killing a plant on purpose doesn't require you to consider the season or growing conditions.

Note my use of the words "form of" in front of "forsythia."

Believe Me, I know that a traditional forsythia is yellow. Mema had plenty of those as well, and that's where she got the switches used to punish My cousins and Me. ACK.

there is no pink forsythia

sonofsam · 02-12-2005, 10:24 PM

thanks folks... i'll be here all week... but for now my times up

da dum dum deeeshhhhh

The Bootyologist · 02-12-2005, 10:25 PM

the leaf looks like honesysuckle or mock orange, but that bloom looks like woodland phlox from what i can see

The Bootyologist · 02-12-2005, 10:26 PM

pink snowball tree is another guess . i cant tell well enough to see

You say that as though you've done extensive research.

While I admit I could well be wrong, I'm going off of what I was told as a kid wandering through Mema's plants. It may be that she was wrong as well.

Perhaps tea roses? Whatever it may be, if it's hardy enough to be blooming in February, it may well not be anything to worry about - you could most likely cut it and it'd grow right back.

And yes, there is.

Abeliophyllum distichum roseum

Google. Love it.

But I think you're right in that it doesn't match. Looks more like a rose to me....I'll have a peek around to see what I find that matches.

RRRED · 02-12-2005, 11:02 PM

Haha I left for a while and I find it funny you guys are arguing over my bush

Basically I just need to know if I can hack at it or do I need to wait for spring? summer? (sorry I'm a retard when it comes to these things)

And If I hack it, there's points in the stem that are.. oh god I don't know the word for it... bulbus?? Do you cut right above these points or right below? I probably saw something about this years ago somewhere.. All I know is that it's important, no?

I'm renting right now or I'd dig it up no problemo

http://rrredspot.adult.com/junk/myhouse.jpg

Its the first bush on the right of my garage... Totally out of control.

Pete-KT · 02-12-2005, 11:05 PM

I was thinking it was gonna be a girls bush but oh well, sorry cant help

weirdharold · 02-12-2005, 11:14 PM

Red take a look at this http://www.djroger.com/pink_forsythia.htm cause the pic doesn't really give us a good view of it.. but see if this is the same thing.

SleazeQueen · 02-13-2005, 01:47 AM

I haven't got a clue what it is, but I have some things that look similar and I hack them back every year. Hack them now and you'll miss the bloom though, so you might want to wait.

If you want to know for sure what it is and how to take care of it, cut one of the branches (probably good to get a bloom if you can) and take it to your local nursery. I'd suggest you avoid places like the garden center at Home Depot as most of the help there is clueless.

A good nursery shouldn't be too far away and they will be able to identify the plant for you and they should have a big huge book of plants that will tell you about care and pruning and feeding, etc.

They're called nodes... You cut right above a node where a leaf (or another branch) grows out of the branch you're cutting. Above as in, you leave the node, stem and leaf ON.
