Question
Good afternoon! Could you please help with this shrub? I found it in Pittsfield, MA near Berkshire Community College bordering a sloping wet meadow. I was leaning towards Rhamnus cathartica, but I've never seen the bark peeling like that. Thank you!
Answer
Dear KDC, yes, you are correct. This is a species of Rhamnus, and from I can tell, Rhamnus cathartica. Best wishes.
