Solved ID please

Been trying to ID this shrub. Is it a fatsia ? Looked at pictures on the internet but not sure they are the same. The seed pod on it has large berry like seeds in it, which are black in colour.

Thanks

 

It looks more like a tree paeony. Fatsias have umbels of white berries.

 

I don't think that it's a fatsia

 

The umbels are actually black

 

They are? My eyes must be worse than I thought

 

I agree with Noisette. The photos look like a tree Peony to me. I grow a few and the pod looks the same as those on mine. With slightly narrower leaves than my hybrids my guess is the species Lutea. The flowers are yellow if you saw it flower Nigel.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Please let me explain. Your picture shows flowers/unripe berries

 

You're absolutely right! I should have said 'umbels of white flowers'. It's been so long since I had a flowering-sized Fatsia, I've forgotten what they do! Please accept my most humble apologies

 

Oh, ok then...I s'pose
