  That’s several years old … it’s not appeared overnight.
  
    Could be a Prunus of some sort … has there been or is there a plum, cherry or similar in the vicinity?
  
  

  Can we see a clear photo of the leaves please.

  I've rotated and zoomed-in a bit - could it be an ornamental crab apple?  It would have been covered in blossom in spring.

  
  

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  I would say crab apple too.

  From that pic so would I. But it’s not a tree that’s suddenly appeared. It’s been there some years unless the tree fairy planted it when no one was looking. 😉

  Imagine if they popped up overnight like Jack’s beanstalk. 

  
  

  Such fun!
