    What are the leaves like, palmate, pinnate etc?

    I would say more palmate, extremely small, non glossy and deciduous.  Thanks Flinster. This is almost impossible for people. I thought someone may recognise the shape of the branches & bark x

    Can't believe I missed this Flinster. A branch at the other side has few leaves hanging on in there!!! any help? x

    Those look a bit like shrubby potentilla leaves... and the cinnamon-coloured peeling bark fits, too... irritatingly, it's just been re-named Dasiphora fruticosa.  I'll go out and photograph mine and you can see if it's a match.

    Ah.  I think I misunderstood something... just re-read your first couple of posts.  The "3 to 4 feet tall" comment referred to evergreen shrub suggestions, not to the height of the plant we're trying to identify... right?  If so, please scrub the above suggestion.   :)

    Batwood. The tree next to it is an Acer Griseum it has a label on it!! Thanks. Looks totally different to the one I am trying to identify. The acer has some whirlies on it xx

    Thanks Liriodendron. No it's a multi stemmed tree that I want to identify and help as it's struggling a bit xx

    Liriodendron it's about 10 foot at the moment xx

    The three to four foot is the height of bushes I asked for recommendations to underplant with xx
