My first time on here!! I wonder if anyone can identify the shrub in the photo. It has been growing in my garden for a few years but I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks.

Thanks for that - never heard of it, but will look it up on web. What a wonderful site this is! I think I'll be asking quite a few questions - I never seem to have my nose out of a gardening book!

Indeed the birds do love the berries. I have seedlings popping up all over the place every year.
