You guessed it. It's spring again, I will be pounding this forum with pictures of my trees...all spring and summer. Haha Sorry in advance.
This is a tree I got last year. I don't know what kind of tree it is. I got it from my mothers back yard. It's leaves are silvery on one side. That's all I can tell you.
Here it is all bare rooted, and again in it's home for the next year. I drastically chopped it.I really hate that crazy straight branch.It needs to go.
so here it is.
I'll post a picture of it when it leafs out.

i have one of those too i think i have it as unkown srub too...if it is it's a a pink spring flowering shrub and it gets small red berries mid summer,which is the reason i pulled out mine.it was a sucker of a mother bush i still have.if it is the same it has its pros and cons the leaves do reduce nicly and they ramify easyly on old growth . the new stuff can come from anywere even the roots and grows like crazy.
