It looks suspiciously like Cotoneaster to me. Perhaps a 'bird-dropped'

And to me, except for one niggling detail: Cotoneaster have alternate
leaves, and that plant has opposite ones. So it's not a Cotoneaster.

Ha, well spotted. I was about to go for Cotoneaster franchetii, but
you're right of course.
