I took a cutting of a snowberry growing by the side of a main road

fell off after a few months, leaving a thin stalk. At the end of
last year, I was emptying the pot to put away, and I noticed the
stalk had a couple of short roots at the bottom. Not expecting much,
I put it back in compost and left it in the back garden. Now,
against all expectation, the thing has a couple of small leaves
growing.

Be careful what you wish for it is quite an invasive thug in a small
garden - rather more so than ivy or honeysuckle IME.
