Title: Anyone know this shrub?
Post by: JohnnyD on November 27, 2020, 01:57:33 PM: This shrub/miniature tree has been in and out of my minigardens for years and thus has no label.I seem to remeber it as an Ulmus but ....!
Can anyone identify it please?

Having never grown them I have no idea if very very old specimens get this woody.

The leaves look really succulent - I was thinking a Sedum, too.
