Hi all

I have a shrub (I don't know what sort it is) in my garden  that I was pruning today and found that is was covered in this dusty residue. Is this something I should address or can it just be left? Any thoughts would be appreciated, also if anyone knows what sort of shrub it is I'd love to know! 

Thanks, Chris

    That's a natural feature of the shrub. I think it is Eleagnus x ebbingei, though I've never seen berries on mine. But definitely an Eleagnus, and this is how their leaves look.

    Wonderful, yes, that looks like it's exactly what it is. It's good there's no problem to resolve! Many thanks for your response.
