Today, I'm featuring an evergreen shrub (three of them located at our front patio) that I've become fond of after having it as part of the landscape at our townhouse. I do not know the name of this evergreen shrub; it is just a pretty shrub. The fact that new leaves on this shrub grown in as a color-blend of orange, red and burgundy adds to my appreciation of it. Another observation about this shrub is how tall it's top stems can grow and how funny that looks to me. This really tall growth occurs during the times our community's landscapers leave the shrubs un-trimmed. It's happened often enough in the three-plus years that we've lived here, that sometimes I've taken scissors and trimmed these 'triplet' shrubs myself! The images, below, feature these pretty 'triplet' shrubs freshly-trimmed by me and un-trimmed with the humorous-looking new stems.
One day I will learn the name of this shrub and plant some in the landscape of my dream house estate, which I'm working to acquire and move into from here!
Update 1/11/2022: While perusing a home improvement website for evergreens early in 2021, I discovered the name of this lovely shrub is 'Cleyera'!
