Hello
I found this growing behind my Laurel bush about 3yrs ago, so I potted it

up
and cut the main stem to leave two branches, so it's bushed out a bit.

All advice welcomed...Thankyou

Walnut?



I should also have mentioned location... Merseyside NW England.

Not sure about Walnut though. Thanks for the reply.


No, it's not a walnut.

It's an ash. Fraxinus excelsior. They have a habit of sending up
seedling in or behind other shrubs, which you don't spot until they
appear out of the top.

Grows into a big tree, so don't plant it out unless you have a *really*
big garden.
