Shrub Identification

Hi
This is my first post to your forum.
Can anyone help me identify the bush in the photo please.
If you can, I would like to grow some more, is it possible to take cuttings and if so, how do I go about it, as you can see it also has berries, is it possible to use them to grow more.
Thankyou

 

Sorry
it looks like i have posted this in the wrong part

 

Your new, I'm sure they'll let you off just this once

Can't help with the id but welcome to GC some of the experts on here will help you.

 

:wlcm: Hello rogern and welcome to GC.

Your shrub looks very healthy and it could be one of the Privets (Lingutrum( but I will let one of our experts come along and identify this for you.

Most of us have been known to post in the 'wrong' place at times .... in the meantime I will move this to the Identification Section.

Enjoy the forum.

 

The more I look at this bush, the more it resembles the holly family, no matter, I will wait for an expert, thanks for the replies so far

 

Hi rogern and welcome. It could be a Gaultheria (wintergreen).
What were the flowers like in spring?

 

To me it looks like one of the Pittosporum tribe.

 

It's a non-prickly holly!

 

I have not seen it in the spring so I dont know, what I do know is that Roe deer like eating it !

 

Thanks, so the Latin name would be Non-pricklyus hollyus then

 

Spineless (what a horrid word) holly is still a variety of Ilex aquifolium. There are several kinds:

I am still not sure yours is a holly though. Aren't the berries too sp**** and oval for a holly? Don't know, mind well could be a lazy holly

 

I too am unsure about the berries shape. The sparsity, no, mine`s a lazy sod plus I pruned it too late this year-it`s my own fault, but the berries don`t look right for a holly.

 

I was going to say the non prickly holly (as Quercus did) but I a) wasn't sure and b) decided to wait for the experts to arrive.
