Hi folks,

I was hoping someone in this formum would be able to identify a bush that's growing in my garden.

It's flowering at the moment. The flowers are 8-10mm across and the leaves and branches are quite thorny.

I've attached a picture for reference and there are some more he

Looks like some sort of cotoneaster?

Oh hang on, cotoneaster are not all that spikey I don't think. Try the
other one like it, pyracantha. I always get them mixed up.

Cotoneaster aren't usually spiny.

Berberis

Nope, not that one either. I think you mean berberis, which is another
common garden hedging plant often recommended against intruders.

I think this one is berberis darwinii, but could be wrong ;-)

Pyracantha flowers later and has white flowers, but you're right, it is
similar to the small leaved cotoneasters in that it has oval dark green
leaves and white flowers.

I agree - it appears to be Berberis Darwinii. The leaves are like miniature
holly leaves and the yellow flowers are due about now.

I think you're right, though. I've got a couple just coming into bloom now.

Gas station near here has one the size of a pretty big shed!
