Which rhododendron?

Evening all, I am trying to find out which species of Rhododendron this is? It is not in flower yet but I noticed that the leaves are somewhat serrated, I thought rhodo leaves were smooth?

So sorry but this is not a Rhododendron.

It appears to be Aucuba japonica longifolia...sometimes goes under name Aucuba japonica salicifolia.

@Silver surfer aha I knew you’d get it! Thank you

I tried everywhere on google looking for Rhodos with serrated leaves 😂 out of interest did you happen to see my earlier posts with 2 plant IDs?

PS, I really would love to know how you’re so knowledgable 😁
