| ~ Editing my original post; the plant in question is Ming Aralia (Polyscias fruticosa) Ok folks ... I need help again! I've had this little tree for a long time; I almost lost it to a freeze a few years ago and although it's nothing of it's former self I managed to prune off the dead branches and keep it alive but I can't remember it's name and I can't seem to find it in my picture folders. I know it must be there somewhere unless it was lost when my laptop crashed a few years ago.  I don't like getting old and forgetful. I kept thinking "China Doll" (Radermachera) but nope, it's something else, a common and easy one I'm sure ... but my brain just isn't getting it! I sure hope these photo's will ring a bell with someone. Excuse the not so great pictures, pollen is covering everything on my porch and I'm getting ready to get the hose and wash everything down once again!    ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

 THAT'S IT! Thank you Purple ... after you ID'd it I knew immediately you were correct and I knew that I had photo's on my laptop somewhere, so I searched and searched and finally found it stored in another file folder.  I wonder how it got there?  Don't ever get old.  ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

LOL, that's how it looked back in 2008. It was hit hard by two consecutive cold winters in 2010 and 2011 and I had to chop off a lot of dead wood. It hasn't been given proper care in awhile so it's now this one skinny little stem.  I need to be a better plant caretaker and try to get it back to looking more presentable.  Thanks again for your help! Lin ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| You're welcome. Look at it next to the smashing Crotons. How pretty! Your little tree looks fine, but the pot looks like it might be a little small for the amount of roots that would be good for a plant that size but you probably know that. Looking at your beautiful plants, I'm sure you don't need much if any guidance. May I ask what the lovely giant plant inside the screen is? Just behind/to the left of the Polysicas? 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

| The plant in the screen porch is a Cordyline (Ti plant). Cordyline fruticosa 'Tricolor': ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |
