As you've been spot-on with a couple of other plant I.D. questions
I've
had, I thought I'd give you another try. I got this "shrub" as a
freebie a
few years ago, from memory (poor at the best of times) I thought it
was a
minature mimosa but when I look that up on "tinternet" it looks
nothing
like the photo's, I know mimosas have folding leaves but just thought
it
was a different type. i suspect also that it doesn't like the soil
type in
my garden (alkaline,chalky/flint) as some of the leaves go yellow, any
ideas?

My thouight is Magnolia stelata

Yes, thanks Dave, pretty sure that's what it is now. Was getting my Mimosa
and Magnolia mixed up!!


Well, it appears it's not a magnolia stellata, I've given it to a friend as
it didn't like my chalky soil, it's doing fine in his garden BUT it hasn't
flowered (stellata's already have) and it's producing catkins. Could it be a
mini willow?
