tall and has
about 6 stems, one of which is shown on the photos

Your fisrt 2 pics of the plant werent' very revealing and the third one was
from too far back, however, having gotten over my irritation at not being
able to see the plant properly, I suspect it might be atriplex, aka red
orach, aka mountain spinach. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_Orache

does Dodonea work? It's a small tree or large bush here and might not be
hardy there
