I have a few of these beautiful things growing in my garden which I don't do anything with apart from admire and I have no idea what they are. Would someone be kind enough to identify please.

    I'm going to guess laburnum...  you did mean the tree? ?.  Looks like you have fairies living there!

    Thanks everyone image

    Yes I did mean the Euphorbia. I love it and it's nice to now know what it is.

    The tree I know as I have a few in my garden, it's a damson. And yes it does have fairies living at the bottom. I pretend that is for my daughter when I totally did it for me!

    The dog is my shadow and loves the garden but unfortunately has no concept of borders!

    Thanks for the ID nut as I also have that one, which came in from next door under the fence.  I quite like it but find it pretty invasive - it's now covering a 3 x 2m area so will need dealing with at some point!  I've seen a couple of wrens nipping in and out of the 'forest' so it will stay until winter. image

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