Solved Could someone please identify this Shrub?

Hello all

Could someone please identify this Shrub for me?



It has grown out of control, story of my life at the moment, and I want to know how to prune it, heavily if possible as it has grown behind the shed which I am not able to get behind.

The shed will be replaced soon so I want to be able to remove the Shrub when the old shed is removed before the new Shed is installed.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

 

Hello @wiseowl

Thanks for the reply.

I just searched for 'Kerria Japonica' and that does seem to be it.

On the RHS site it says that it has a Suckering Habit.

With Shrubs that use Suckers to propagate what would be the best course of action to get the Shrub under control?

Thanks in advance

Trust wiseowl.
It is Kerria japonica pleniflora.
The one with lots of petals.

kerria japonica pleniflora - Google Search

Kerria japonica has just 5 petals.

Hello @Silver surfer

Sorry, I meant it is the 'Kerria japonica Pleniflora' which I found on the RHS Site after searching for 'Kerria japonica' after @wiseowl replied.

Thanks
