What is the name of this Plant Growing in my Garden

pennymaxpennymax Posts: 56

Hi,  I have no idea what the name of this plant is growing in our garden and there are a number of shoots growing, Can someone identify it for me please.  We moved into our bungalow approx six months ago and our builder cleared our garden using a mini digger. Now we have patches of new shoots growing all over the garden, if possible i would like to save them so that when we start working in our garden i can re-plant them.

    Nor me, and photinias have smooth leaves.

    I suspect it's a lurking horror if it's coming back in land that has been cleared by a digger.  The best thing to do would be to dig up some of the best specimens and put them in pots to quarantine and grow them on, just in case they turn out to be goodies.

    Then you can go ahead and clear the rest of the garden and prepare the soil for planting real treasures, by which time, this one will have grown and be easier to identify and can be planted out or composted accordingly.
