This week’s #TreeIDTuesday is one that stumped Arborist and Truetimber TCA, Peter Girardi. From Peter: “What got me interested in Arboriculture was my fascination with tree ID. I left VA Tech with a degree in forestry and wildlife management and was able to ID most trees but was weak on ornamental trees and also on tree issues and tree problems. But over the past 20 years I have learned ornamental trees of Richmond and most common and obscure tree issues or problems. So when I saw this tree I thought I would share it with you!”⠀
⠀
This tree/shrub can be in tree form and also in a multi-stem shrub form. This tree is NOT native to North America and natural range is E. Asia - China, Japan, India. You can find it in some city tree wells. This tree has a fragrant flower and some say the leaves when crushed give off a peanut butter fragrance. Where I have seen this tree in Richmond it is pretty invasive and seems to spread throughout the yard.⠀
⠀
Tree is in the same family as many culinary herb plants like widely used culinary herbs like basil, mentha, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, thyme, and lavender.⠀
