Re: Horticulturist (Me) needs strange plant identifcation
Hello Gary - have you looked into Rubus? Rubus odoratus and Rubus parviflorus both have simple alternate leaves on pubescent stems. They generally have five-lobed leaves instead of three-lobed, but I do see a couple of the leaves on your plant which are five-lobed or nearly so. Of course this would be much easier if you had flowers.

Thanks guys but I have Rubus odoratus and Rubus parviflorus growing in the back of my yard. The leaves are not as hairy on this plant.
The Arbor day foundation sent me a bunch of seedling in the Spring and this was one of them. I'll have to give them a call when I get a chance. It's supposed to be a tree of some sort.

Its a rare day when the identity of a tree stumps Gary. And it stumps me too. I'm thinking something like a member of the Virginia creeper / Boston ivy family, but not either one of those species.
There is a Viburnum with maple like leaves, Viburnum acerifolium, but it has an opposite leaf pattern, not alternating. So it ''ain't no viburnum'.

I sent the photos to the Arbor Day Foundation, the source of the plant and they don't even know what it is! Still searching.

I think it is a type of Hibiscus, but don,t know which one, there are hundreds of Hibiscus species.

By golly you may have hit the jackpot Andre!
They are not cold hardy where I live but I did put them in my Winter Bonsai House so it should survive.
I'll do some checking.
We used to grow Hibiscus in the Chicago area when I lived there.
Thanks Andre B.

Why don't you post a message on the UBC?
There's a section "Plants: Identification" and I'm sure you'll get the answer there:

Another Mallow.... Abutilon?
How did you misclassify it as Hibiscus? Would be interesting to know.
