Thank you both. It just appeared in the garden. It's a good looking plant.

Or colloquially "Pheasant berry bush".

Oi BM I was going for a full house

[sandyRoe]

Can we all agree it's a very pleasant pheasant berry bush?

[Barmaid]

lol, sorry Rowan!

Yes Sandy, I think they are lovely. I've got one about 5 feet away. Mr BM wanted to pull it up saying it was a weed, but I wouldn't let him. Now he is quite pleased he let it stay.

Ooooo....that's pretty. I want one. Would it grow on a tub?

[hammerman]

Yeah shouldn't be a problem pasta...just make sure you keep up with the watering when it's needed and give a fortnightly liquid feed during the summer. In March, cut them hard back to about 6"
