Q&A - My shrub has two kinds of leaves
Question:
I have a shrub with two different types of leaves on it. It looks like another plant has attached its-self to it. What is it?
Answer:
The shrub is really just two shrubs that have been pruned to look like one. One is a Euonymus and the other is a Cleyera. You can leave them growing together or remove one of them. If you want to remove one, it would probably be better to remove the euonymus because of the scale problems they have.
