ellemicke November 04, 2009 07:27 PM	Hi There- We have inherited this plant & everyone loves it, but we have no idea what it is! It doesn't seem to need a lot of water, leaves are bumpy, curved and have fine little teeth along the edges. It currently stands about 4 1/2 to 5 feet tall. Any input is appreciated! I have a few more pictures, I could email them to you if it would help. Thank you, L View Larger
nifty413 North Central, TX (Zone 8a) November 04, 2009 09:02 PM	Perhaps a Polyscias guilfoylei cultivar?
trackinsand mid central, FL (Zone 9a) November 04, 2009 09:05 PM	i think i agree with nifty. i hope that is a variegated limb and not mealybugs!

Metrosideros Keaau, HI November 05, 2009 12:39 AM	Nifty got the right species! It is Polyscias guilfoylei 'Crispa'.
Malus2006 Coon Rapids, MN (Zone 4a) November 05, 2009 06:26 AM	hcmcdole is right it's just light reflected from shiny leaves.
Metrosideros Keaau, HI November 05, 2009 11:54 AM	In the light, or in the dark, the plant is: Polyscias guilfoylei 'Crispa'.
ellemicke November 09, 2009 10:29 AM	Thanks so much- what a quick response! Upon getting the species I checked them out- it's the Black Aralia version, the leaves are a definite match :)! I really appreciate your feedback- I know just where to go the next time I have a mystery plant!
Malus2006 Coon Rapids, MN (Zone 4a) November 09, 2009 09:02 PM	you are welcome, ellemicke!
