Hello again. I am very new to the gardening side. I brought this plant the other day but it had no identification tag with it. Can anybody please help identify it? Many thanks 🙂

    Mistake number one, if you are new to gardening don't buy unnamed plants, but someone here will know!
    It looks to have been grafted onto a trunk so maybe a cotoneaster or second guess an escallonia but not really sure.

    It could be some kind of grafted willow.  Kilmarnock willow perhaps but the leaves don’t look big enough. I’m sure someone else will know.

    can you do another photo showing all of one branch. and another showing the shape of the plant. and there some little fluffy flowers (or remains of) in there, if you could get one of those in focus it would help

    Kilmarnock willow was my first reaction, but aren't the leaves too shiny?

    Remains of flowers do look like pussy willow catkinsthough, so more willow than cotoneaster

    I don't think it's a Willow or a Cotoneaster, I don't think it's anything I'm familiar with

    Was this in flower when you bought it? Colour of flowers? Was this  garden centre buy or supermarket?
