Co-indidentally there was a feature on Japenese Knotweed on The One Show
just after I posted this thread.
Looking at the footage, these seem to be different stages. A young
version where the stems are very red and slim (like the plant in my
garden) and then it starts to appear bamboo like.
Lots of plants have red stems. If your plant was JK, then by midwinter
those stems would be brittle brown husks and fall over flat if pushed.
Your plant's stems are going to stay rigid and red all winter because it's
a cornus.
Japanese knotweed does not have either the same growth habit or leaves
as cornus

Thank-you Janet, mind is at rest now.
