    New house
    New to gardening

    Can anybody tell me what type of hedge this is from the pictures?

    I'm going to be shearing / secateur-ing / lopping it to straighten it out, but I want to get to know it a bit better

    Thank you

    Looks like Photinia, but maybe not.

    Could it be some kind of Olearia? Daisy bush.

      Looks familiar but can't bring to mind. @Silver surfer is excellent at ID's so hopefully will see this :)

      I know identifier apps aren't always correct, but Plantnet agrees with @pete (olearia - daisy bush)

      Thanks for the responses.
      I moved to the house in late August 2024 and it didn't have white flowers on there at this time, it looked basically the same as in the pictures. So I'm not sure if it is a daisy bush but I can still see some likeness.

      ...So I hope that doesn't mean it's been dormant or dead since summer because the leaves do still have a nice green colour.

      Again, very new to this so any thoughts welcome.

      Maybe you just later and missed the flowering, you can see where the flowers were.
