can you identify this shrub please

Really really tiny .there that small.you can't really see what shape they are ...when I built decking close to the bush there were stringer off shots coming up between the wood ...it really does go wild if I don't keep it hard pruned back

 

Symphoricarpus would fit very well with the leaves and tiny flowers.
See link for several images.

There are several shrubby honeysuckles with tiny flowers but they are flowering now.

 

Well it's not a symphorcarpus as it does not bear white fruit like in the photo ..... if you look my 1st photo you can see the tiny little buds on the stems of the bush ....

 

Kevin ..cannot see enough detail....very soon the buds will open.
Please can you add a clear close up pic to this thread.

 

Just had a look at my Snowberry and I'd put money on that is what it is. Somewhat invasive but an ok shrub in the right spot. Has very small pale pink flowers a bit later in the season than now, well that's from memory anyway which could be somewhat unreliable! and then white berries in Autumn. Very easy to accommodate and mine is growing very close to a LARGE golden Yew. Most shrubs wouldn't cope with the conditions but Snowberry does.

 

This shrub does not have berries ever ...or in 10 years I have never seen any

 

From the photo it looks as tho the shrub has been pruned? Maybe, depending on if and when it's pruned the flowers and thus the berries have been pruned off. That's my best effort. Silver Surfer is THE BEST at identification, if I'm wrong she will find you the right answer I'm sure.

 

It was pruned last year ...but almost every year I pruned it after the flowers and when I didn't there was never any berries . This gardening lark is not easy lol

 

That pretty much looks like Symphoricarpos to me. They can be late flowering and are good for bees so that would fit. I would suggest it is not S. albus though, it has smaller leaves, maybe S. doorenbosii.
Don't be too keen to prune it this year then eh, and you should get some berries on it.

 

I can honestly say there have never been berries on the bush ... I don't live in the house anymore and so I am trying to identify it so I can grow another one .... I loved the amount of bees that went on it come aug Sept ... but honestly even when left it never sprouted berries

 

There are a few varieties of it to choose from , I would suggest you purchase Symphoricarpos doorenbosii then.
There are white or pink berried varieties to choose from.

 

Think it might be this

 

Or this

 

I've been looking at the leaf shape of honeysuckle and it has more of a point on them than Snowberry below. I still think it's snowberry.

@Silver surfer would there be male and female plants which could explain the absence of the berries please?

 

That really does luck like the bush in my photo .... what is that Please ?
