1. White flowers belong to Deutzia sp...maybe one such as Deutzia gracilis.

Silver surfer is that witch hazel and what would the hazel be grown for?Thanks re Deutzia

Not Witch Hazel ... it’s the hazelnut bush ... if you can beat the squirrels to them!

And when you coppice the bush (every 5-7 years or so) the poles are the best supports ever for runner beans.
