    I have found a photo of it in flower. Not a great photo but it may help confirm? Thanks for all your suggestions.

    The photo was taken before we moved it!

    Does it form berries from the flowers?

    Think that may be it. 

    Certainly doesn’t look like our Amelanchier.

    No, it doesn’t form berries after the flowers. So, if it is an exochorda, now how do I save it?! When in the best time to give it a hard prune? I didn’t know whether it was best to do it now or in the autumn? I thought cutting it back may help with the stress of moving but maybe I should have cut it back and then moved it. Too late for that! We got a really good rootball out with it. 

    If it doesn’t survive then again least I know we tried!
