Can you guess just based on my description?
Hello!
Anyone want to take a guess at identifying my shrub/slim ‘tree’?
Im trying to remember the name but it’s not coming
It has disappointing foliage which comes into its own in autumn when the leaves go a beautiful reddish orange/deep orange.
Its currently in blossom - pink blossoms but not prunus/cherry blossom etc
It’s leaves are slightly elongated.
Ive googled but to no avail.
I will post a photo in daylight if no one guesses it, but I think the colour of leaves and the fact it’s pretty meh (?) most of the year should ring a few bells!
I just wanted to read into how to prune it and the name has gone from my head.
In my mind it began with an F but I’m not sure...
Thank you!

songbird - it’s leaves are not so ‘succulent’ like a viburnum (and it’s form is not bushy at all) thank you for the guess though!
Ill try and see if I have any photos stored on my phone 😶
thank you 🌷
Looking up your suggestion -a very pretty tree!
The one I have is not so pretty! Floppy light/mid green leaves, blossoms are more cherry blossomy looking.

Sorry, succulent was wrong word - I meant leaves were thinner and just droopy.
