    Looks like an Oleander to me. If I'm wrong someone will be along to correct me. :)

      :) Hello nanydodo and welcome to GC.

      First question ... where do you live?

      No way is it an Oleander, believe me, but it looks like something I have .. but does not bloom .. a Euphorbia of some sort but I will have to think on this.

      I was about to close down so will come back tomorrow and perhaps someone else will come up with what I am thinking of ... :love30:

      :) Hi Nanny, hadn't shut down yet ...

      I am sure it is the Euphorbia .. they are 3-4 meters tall here and your location would accomodate them. :yess:

      I am closing down but will love you and leave you with this one to identify ... and I'll be back tomorrow ..

      easiest way to confirm that is to snap a bit off, what colour does it bleed?

        Nannydodo,
        May I suggest you bring a branch into the house and go through the pics on the computer for Caragana arborescens Lorbergii to compare the foliage.
        Very few tall shrubs that are hardy outside in Britain have this type of foliage.
        I am not sure why this has been discounted.

        Euphorbia certainly do not survive outside in our climate.
