Small leaf, very compact.


My first thought was privet, but your description doesn't agree. Maybe
privet honeysuckle (Lonicera pileata).


Yes, I think so. Others have suggested cotoneaster, but the leaves don't
look quite right (are Cotoneaster leaves opposite?).

It does flower, but the flowers are very small and greenish yellow on
the underside of the branches, so I can understand why one poster says
it doesn't flower.

?

Looks like a willow-herb (Epilobium), but I'm not completely sure.


I don't like those extra tufts of 'leaves' in the leaf axils - not seen
that on an Epilobium. Sacha suggested Lysimachia (yellow loosestrife),
and it looks more like that, but I think it's probably Lythrum (purple
loosestrife). Without going outside to check, it's looking very much
like mine is at the moment.

I have had Cotoneaster but I don't rate it as one of my favourites.
