Hi all, I'm sure something similar was on here recently but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. You can just see the seed pods in the centre of the pic. An ID would be appreciated.

prunus lusitanica?
Sorry Hostafan, it's not prunus. Know that one only too well.
I'm bumping this back up.
I think it might be Chimonanthus praecox Dave
sorry, missed this one on 23rd
In the sticks near Peterborough
don't you think the leaves are a bit, erm chunky for chimonanthus?
No, looks just like mine and the fruits (which I've never had yet, sic
)
Look just like those in google images

Maybe I should add one of those to my suggestion

You may well be right nut, I can't say I noticed any flowers on it last winter but this coming season I'll be on the look out for them. Seed pods are certainly very similar indeed, so thanks.
