A gardener south of Pittsburgh had an 11-year-old shrub that didn't flower, grew to 12 feet, regrew vigorously after cutting to 3 feet. Local landscapers couldn't identify it; they wanted another or to divide the root.
Bush I want identified
The shrub looked like a hazel. The expert asked for a close-up leaf, any flowers/seeds, and a picture of buds.
The gardener sent a leaf-to-stem photo.
Leaf to stem
The expert was stumped. Growth similar to witch hazel, buds long-pointy like willow, leaf too symmetrical for witch hazel, not toothed enough for hazel, too broad for willow.
