    Is it some sort of Euonymus? Close-up view of a leaf  and some bark might help. Is this a recent photo?

    That's very helpful, Bev; I'll have a think in a while and I'm sure others will, too.

    I suppose this has no flowers or fruit? I wondered, too, whether it was a shrub or actually a young tree that has seeded itself in your garden.

    It doesn't have flowers or fruit. I got it from someone on freegle.

    Why did you pull all its leaves off?

    I haven't got any idea....I look after shrubs and trees, I had to get a book on trees and shrubs and was able to identify them that way.

    Still puzzling. If you have an i-phone, you can get plant ID apps such as Leafsnap.

    Those leaves are rather beautiful. I had a good look for some information but couldn't find anything. I suppose it couldn't have catkins or berries or even flowers that appear in winter so that you're not noticing them?
