Thanks for the prompting fidgetbones. I actually think (and hope for Shayman) it is Prunus lusitanica rather than the highly poisonous Prunus laurocerasus.
This shrub is deciduous by the way..I remember the leaves looked attractive last autumn.
I have looked up Prunus lusitanica ..The flowers are similar but not quite right and the leaves are
more elongated on the Prunus lusitanica photo I have seen.
Thanks for all your responses so far.
Would have been worthwhile mentioning that it's deciduous, all those sort of details help with ID
Could we see a photo of the shrub?
Prunus padus is a possibilty.
I hope you haven't started a T laurocerasus panic Ladybird. a lot of them out there.
Hi again,
Here is a picture of the shrub from a few feet away. Poor photo ,sorry.
I also notice the backs of the leaves have red veins.
Maybe it is Prunus Padus.If so I'll have to prune it a lot because that grows very large !
