    I'm no expert, :(  but looks like a crab apple, but mine are not as red as that one.

    The berries are only about 10mm wouldn't a crab apple be bigger?

    Cassie, I think that you have a Cotoneaster tree there.

    Thanks, do you know which variety? Cotoneaster had crossed my mind. It just appeared this year growing in the pot on top of a pillar, I didnt notice it at first because theres a holly tree next to it!

    Hmm I think Ladybird4 is right. The fruits arent that big! Thanks anyway!

    It could be Cotoneaster x watereri 'Cornubia' Cassie.

    I'd say cotoneaster bullatus - had it in my last garden.

    Fantastic for bees, but I think it's classed as invasive now, along with a couple more of the genus.
