  • Question

    We found this plant growing in our backyard this fall, It developed small yellow and orange flowers, and has begun fruiting. While flowering, I though it was a Lantana which is common in Phoenix, Az, but lantana do not fruit.

    Answer

    Dear lizzie, in this case I'm not going to be able to help. Arizona is far enough away from my region of expertise that some species are unfamiliar. I suggest you contact the facts at the University of Arizona (http://ag.arizona.edu/herbarium/home), where they would have local plant expertise. Beset wishes.
