It grows in a small grove, deep in a "woodsy holler" near my home in N MS. In summer, the leaves are a bright green and as the pic will show, they are now turning a bright yellow. The bush only measures 6-8' in ht. and seems to thrive in the most shaded parts of the hollow. The leaves are 10 - 12" in lgth as you may be able to tell.

Several varieties of the plant are identified but they do not resemble myleaves either.

I wonder if there is some way of stimulating them to produce. I've never noticed blooms in the fifteen years we've been here and would love to have them bear. S Sayger Hernando, MS
