    This is growing from a very old root in a very shaded bit of the garden. Does anyone have any ideas what this is at all?

    I was worried it might be Japanese knot weed...

    Thank you very much!

    Relax it's not Japanese Knot weed.
    Could be a sycamore or maple.

      Agree with NigelJ, looks like a sycamore.
