Eunonymous?

pandora206 · 18/03/2022 12:45

Skimmia Japonica maybe though they don't grow very tall.

Aucaba japonica

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 18/03/2022 13:54

I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's skimmia because they are in flower right now.

Its quite big for skimmia japonica and leaves are not speckled like Aucaba

The salicifolia variety of acuba has plain green leaves

Aucuba has big oval pointed leaves, var salicifolia has narrow leaves (as the name says, willow leaved). This bush has leaves tapering more abruptly and wider above the centre.

@dinkybella77
I think I have the same in my garden. Lived here over 20 years and don’t know what it is, some kind of laurel?

MereDintofPandiculation · 19/03/2022 12:27

If it’s a Euonymus, then the berries are strange three cornered things

SockFluffInTheBath · 19/03/2022 20:03

I would have guessed euonymus because it looks like one of mine.

Picture This is an app that identifies plants. Just take a pic of a leaf and it does the rest.

Plant apps don’t identify plants, they tell you which plant picture most resembles your plant picture. OK as a starting point, but you then have to check whether it’s a feasible answer, eg does it grow in the UK, is it leaf at the moment, is it the same growth habit as yours, etc

The tippy-up leaf configuration is a bit like an Arbutus. But it looks a bit big and am not sure ur description of the berries makes it likely.
