Does anyone know what this shrub is please?

I've got this growing in my garden. It has tiny white flowers in a cluster, the flowers are no more than 1cm wide. There are also some blue berries on it. The flowers have just come out.

    Probably Viburnum tinus, a photo showing a bit more of the shrub would help image

  • Many thanks I've been on google and it looks like Viburnum Tinus. I might try and take a cutting as it would be nice out the front.

    Have a look around it blue rose. They will root down if  branches touch the ground . You may already have a rooted one.

  • Many thanks, I'm fairly new to gardening and only tried a few cuttings without success. I'll have a look around, I reckon the Viburnum is at full size. 

    I have a few other shrubs that I don't know what they are. I've only taken macro shots, I'll take some wide angle ones and post soon.

    If it hasn't  rooted  you might have a branch that you can get enough soil over it to bury and put also something heavy to hold it down .then spring / summer  it could already be rooted for you to go straight onto the garden

    Good idea gran, much less trouble than cuttings.

    How big is the viburnum? full size is quite big but they can be pruned to keep them under control
