i suspect it is a berberris. it appears to have spiky leaves.

I think it may be a pernettya

Looks like Berberis darwinii - I have tried to take cuttings from it without success.

I'm pretty sure its not Berberis darwinni - I suspect it might be Gaultheria procumbens, possibly Bells Seedling.

I'd say a gaultheria as well.
Anchorman - I think pernettyas have been moved to gaultherias now. I know what you mean - my first thought was pernettya as well

I hate it when plants are reclassified!

I still say Berberis:

Looks nothing like Gaultheria

I still say Pernyetta. It's the stem colour

This one "Pernyetta mucronata"

I don't think it's a berberis - the flower/berry structure is wrong

Thanks to all of you for replying,seems I have stirred up a hornets nest with this one, will take a cutting into my local g.c. and perhaps i'll be able to say which one is right :0)

Please let us know what it is

"frets"

It's Gaultheria (pernettya as was), no doubt. Can you let us know what the garden centre says please?

I agree with Bamboo. I've just taken vast amounts of cuttings from a Gaultheria 'Bell's Seedling' to be used to replant under the rocks at the entrance to Standen.

Bamboo is always right !

:^)

Hmm, not so Anchorman, I make booboos just like everyone else, lol! Anyway, I noticed after I answered the first time you'd already said Pernettya - yea, okay, they've changed the names,but still the same plant.
