can you help identify. my neighbour has just cut this down, it came over our fence and it was the most gorgeous ‘borrowed landscape’ shrub. I would love to get one myself. It flowered in autumn/ winter pale coloured flowers pinky i think . Leaves evergreen it has purple colour to the leaf stems. The shrub was around 5-6 ft high a woody shrub too. I went on holiday and this was all that was left hence the crispy look. Any ideas, i have been hunting for it everywhere.
Many thanks

Looking at the leaves, I don't think they would be evergreen. But they do look a bit like Viburnum x Bodnantense 'Dawn.

Doesn't have the look of an evergreen ... it does have the look of a Viburnum Bodnantense ... if the flowers are pinky then possibly Viburnum Bodnantense 'Dawn'.

A deliciously scented winter flowering shrub.

Viburnum bodnantense Dawn. at a guess . It flowers pink clusters in winter. Smells nice.

Just a minor problem......Viburnum have leaves that are opposite.
Mystery shrub appears to have alternate leaves.

Definitely a deciduous shrub.
