It is a tree form of the Cotoneaster. Its main use will be provide nice, red berries for the birds as the flowers a pretty insignificant, a good bee plant though.

Agree. Probably Cotoneaster Cornubia. I have one in my garden. Bees and butterflies go mad for the flowers; birds not crazy for the berries unless they get desperate. Semi-evergreen in my part of the country.

Thankyou both! It's been cut down twice and we didn't know if it was a weed or not as it used to be a row of conifers down each side!

Make quite a sizeable tree eventually but a very attractive one in Autumn.

Thankyou! She says it can stay and she might shape it a little, will aid to blocking out the neighbours who have two big Rottweilers that are very inquisitive (they like chase people) haha :)

My daughter had one in her garden, shaped like an umbrella and she hung tea lights in it but it was quite mature.
