This plant is growing at the side of my shed, do you know what it is? It looks like some sort of Fuschia but I am informed it is definately not a Fuschia.

It'll grow quite quickly into a large bush. If you'd like a large, quite attractive bush beside your shed leave it. If you don't, then get it out now and either replant somewhere else or bin it (or compost it)

A word of warning, too - they seed all over the place, so you'll get baby Leycesterias in unexpected places.

Love this plant, bees like it and the birds like the berries.

Just a line to say thank you very much. The suspense was killing me. Now all I have to do is decide what to do next. Thanks again.

Bamboo - I would if I could - but I removed the ones that were here. I'm left with a small one growing on top of the stream wall - where I can't reach it. How it's managing to thrive there, I have no idea!

Oh well, never mind. don't know where I'd put it anyway!

If you can get onto the wall, you can have the whole shrub! LOL.
