Base of a large, mature specimen of Leycesteria formosa showing lignotuber, trunks and stems

Summary edit

Description
English: The base of a large, mature specimen of Leycesteria formosa (family: Caprifoliaceae) showing the exposed, hand-sized, tuberous rootstock (seemingly a type of lignotuber) bearing fully woody trunks clad in reticulate, grey-to-black bark, and younger, hollow or pith-filled green stems, somewhat resembling bamboo canes. The grey trunks are not completely solid, still containing a tiny, central void/tube only a few millimetres in diameter.

Plant thriving in a moist, sheltered position, backed by a warm, South-facing wall (exterior of walled garden) and facing a stream beyond which is a small, densely wooded hill / bank.

Plant probably originally a bird-seeded escape from the walled garden at Berrington, Northumberland, near Berwick-upon-Tweed.
