Customer Plant Identification - DC - September 24, 2017

We are using this post as a means to help customers identify plants on a property.

This post is not meant for anyone other than the intended viewer, but others may find it interesting or beneficial.

If we didn't identify the species correctly, we hope we are at least accurate on the genus. Some plants will be easier to identify during certain times of the year.

Acer rubrum - red maple
Acer rubrum - red maple

Note: I did not check the base of the plant to see if it is possibly a sucker from the root system of a nearby tree. If not, it was either seeded by Mother Nature or one of us humans.

See what it does this fall and potentially remove or transplant it, being so close to the fence and other more mature trees
Mahonia aquafolium - Oregon hollygrape

Note: It does look distressed and woody. I believe it is facing south and receiving too much sunlight.

I recommend moving to a shaded or partially shaded location.















Cercis canadensis - eastern redbud
Cercis canadensis - eastern redbud

Note: It could probably use some pruning for health reasons and aesthetic value.

The image shown below left (also from your property) is of a beginning redbud plant.

Clematis terniflora - sweet autumn clematis
Clematis terniflora - sweet autumn clematis

Note: It should produce more fall flowers.
It is a climbing vine.

I recommend removing all dead vines soon, pruning back severely once blooms die and considering supporting (securing to) with some type of trellis.
