It looks like a Rhododendron in general habit and leaves but the clusters
of tiny white flowers are unfamiliar.


Any suggestions?

Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). For some years I was calling this
false rhododendron in the absence of knowledge of what it really was.

The way the leaves are held differs between this and rhododendron so it
is possible to distinguish them in the absence of flowers and fruits,
but it takes practice and experience.

Thanks
