    Most grateful for any ID that can be provided for this tree/shrub self seeded in my garden! Can't find it in any book or website.

    It stands about 8ft high at present.

    Thanks for info. If it's rampant do you think it should be pruned back?

    It can be pruned back quite hard in mid-late spring and it will produce larger leaves when it re-grows..:blue thumb:
