Just that really - we've lost the label. DH wants to move it but I want to know how big it grows before I give permission. grin

Gordonbennett, yes it will last just for the summer, wait until the chance of frost is past.

It looks like one of the Pittosporums to me. They can get very large ( think small tree).

Thank you grandmattiesmile

Yes, just wait until it’s a bit warmer.

Ooh apologies I meant to start a new thread!

Gordonbennett Sat 18-Apr-20 12:08:57

Could anyone tell me if I can plant this outdoors?

Agree with you, Pittosporum ?

Glad you I.D’as Mountain Horopito. Where people were telling you to taste a leaf I was worried for you. ??

Very interesting suggestions! If you enjoy your gardening, can I suggest an app called 'Candide'? It's not just for plant indents, but all aspects of horticulture (and they're equally as friendly as gransnet!!)

You can download an app (free) called Plantnet. Take a picture within the app and it should be able to tell you what the plant is.

I have just used my plant finder app and it has come up with this for you

Great change of topic! Interesting link. So plant is not sickly at all.

Try one of the free plant finder apps that are available for android or apple devices.

There is a name that plant type app for your phone. Would that work ?

MrLester has identified it now

Alexa Sat 28-Mar-20 10:58:50

PS is it deciduous? Maybe one of those honeysuckle-scented azaleas?

Alexa Sat 28-Mar-20 10:58:08

Azalea with measles?
