        I'm going for no.2 being Viburnum bodnantense 'Dawn', 'Tinus' would be smoother, darker, glossier leaves. 'Dawn' is deciduous and flowers early in the year before the leaves appear, 'Tinus' is evergreen.

        There is a possibility that No.1 could be a variety of Sorbus as it looks more tree like in shape, one the Whitebeam species???, if not then another variety of Viburnum :blue thumb:

          Ha, you are right Bilbo, it is V bodnantense. For some reason when I read tinus I thought bodnantense. :what:.
