Hello,

I've been tidying the garden and part of this has been giving the hedges
and bushes a final cut.

I've found a couple of the attached trees (?) growing through bushes.
Can anyone tell me what they are and how best to get rid of them? I've
cut them back to the ground, but by looking at one of them, it has been
chopped down in the past.

They're not a nuisance but I am intrigued as to what they are!

Thanks in advance!

Stewart

Reminds me of that quiz show. Can you name this tune in one note?
If you really want an ID, you need to give more hints, overall tree
shape, growing habit, flowers, clearer shots on the leaves, location.

As Brooklyn said, dig it out. Otherwise, you'll have to clip it off
for years before it gives up the ghost. If you can't dig it out
(being inside a hedge), you can put Roundup on it while it's growing.
Won't hurt the hedge if you only get the Roundup on the leaves.
