    shrub 1.jpg shrub 2.jpg shrub 3.jpg shrub 5.jpg shrub 6.jpg shrub 7.jpg Hi
    Recently moved house, i've no idea what the shrubs are so any ID's will help me tremendously.

    Any advice gratefully received.

    You've inherited some nice plants and shrubs there, the laurel could benefit from a prune :blue thumb:

      Great variety of plants and shrubs Tramsden - lucky you
      To add to what al n has listed
      On your 1st set of pics
      Pic 1) Looks like a Brachyglottis
      Pic 6) Looks like a magnolia lurking there
      Hydrangea pic looks as if there is a Wigela next to it and a Cotoneaster.

        8. Prunus laurocerasus.Maybe Ligustrum with yellow variegated leaves.
        9. Large pink flowers Hydrangea sp. Low on ground Cotoneaster sp.

          The previous pics were taken a few weeks ago, I was to post them at that time but was taken ill, so few things have changed.
          Pic 2, white flower has expired
          Pic 6, flowers expired but were small and white if that helps.

          Cheers

          OK. Assumed you had popped out and just taken them.
          Date when pics were taken is very helpful to know when plants are flowering.
          eg some are spring flowering, others in the autumn.
          What date was pic taken for no 6?
          Does shrub 6 now have any berries?

          Pic taken now showing berries would help.
