Anyone know what this please?

This plant was growing as a weed until I decided to transplant it to a new site with thoughts of nurturing it. I'd like to know what it is so I can figure how to look after it! Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome Alan.
It is a Hypericum sp.

Wow. You didn't even have to think about that, did you?! Thanks very much, silversurfer. Got something to read up on now....

Cheers

Silver Surfer is right, looks a bit like Tutsan but with more branches.

 

Thanks for that, Ziggy. The tutsan looks very similar. i did prune mine last autumn to improve the shape and encourage growth so i guess that might explain the extra branches.

I have two young kids - do you know whether the berries are harmful to eat?

 

Yes, they are poisonous.

I think it's just an iritant, but don't quote me on that.

 

Whoa, good post Silver

 

A very good post indeed! With two fruit loving under-fives on the go i can't take any risks... so it's goodbye Hypericum Tutsan thingy. Gives me a good excuse to go shrub shopping as well. Result.

Thanks again guys, as a first experience on here this has been first class. Cheers.
