Hi,

 

We have this large evergreen shrub with no thorns and it now has two stalks of flowers of small white flowers.  Any help would be great.

    I think I have one of those.  Mine is Chinese Privet.  It looks very like it.  Can anyone else confirm?

    It's a Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) Craig.

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

    That looks more like Portuguese Laurel, Prunus lusitanica.
