    Looks like Japanese knotweed to me. For your sake I hope I'm wrong. It's a blighter to get rid of and is a controlled weed. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.

      Japanese Knotweed grows in more of a zig zag stem I believe... Even though it looks similar don't think it is.

                It's only a young shrub, pruning is not a priority yet and you wouldn't touch the new growths which are the stronger vertical ones. These growths will produce the flowers next year.
