Is this a tree? Any ideas, want to know whether to keep or dig up please

[Judashascomeintosomemoney]

We had a very overgrown corner that I got DH to sort for me today. He dug out the ivy and the brambles and we’re left with a lovely big hydrangea, a strong walnut tree sapling and some ceanothus, and this thing. The hydrangea and ceanothus were planted by me, the walnut tree is courtesy of the squirrels, but what’s this? It’s tree-like in structure but I didn’t plant it. Wondering if it’s worth keeping because if it is it would be very handy in filling a gap!

Photo?

Er, pic didn’t load...

Sorry trying again.....

Potentially some kind of maple? www.leaf-id.com/lobed-leaves

I'm sure we've got something similar growing in our garden. It gets berries on it that look just like black currents, but aren't apparently! I have no idea what it is, but it's getting quite big now!

Sorry...that was the most unhelpful post!

Could be a flowering currant (although it should be in bud now if it were). Or a viburnum opulus.
Hard to tell without a leaf close up pic.

By the way, how big is your garden? Do you know how big walnut trees get?

Don’t worry we’ve got a few acres. We’ve got two very big mature walnuts and the squirrels keep trying to massively increase their number (and the oak trees!) every year!
I’ll try to post a leaf close up but it wasn’t loading earlier......trying now

PS I’m not a gardener, I’m totally clueless and I’ve got so much to do in this garden. Been at it all day (took three hours to cut the grass) and burnt to a crisp!

Looks like a currant bush to me

Oh it does look curranty . Where on earth has that come from? I’ll leave it and see what transpires then I think. Thanks MN!

Can you eat currents off a current bush?

I thought currents were some sort of dried bigger fruit like grapes and raisins.

(Profuse apologies for aimlessly wandering onto the gardening board and asking a daft question)

Nope not daft, I know about as much as you! That’s why I come to the man gardening board! Currants are a dried version of fruit but I assumed pps meant blackcurrant or somesuch and the leaves do look right......I await correction though

Not man gardening fgs! That’s something completely different
MN gardening!

We have a walnut tree at the end of our garden, it's at least three times the height of the house. We don't have a huge garden, it's on the field behind.

Flowering currant is the common name, it refers to the plant family. The berries are edible but not much to write home about.

Ribes sanguineum is the proper name.

However since it's not in bud yet, it could be a redcurrant or blackcurrant.

Try rubbing the leaves and smelling them. I think it is blackcurrant that has strong-smelling leaves. In my garden it is redcurrant that seeds a lot.
