    I'm thinking the first one is a silver birch seedling. As soon as the leaves come out a little will you put a picture up please?

    Agree with others...to be positive need more info.
    Possibly Prunus...cherry..buds appear to be flower buds.

    Yeah, I'm thinking cherry too. 
    Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border - where old gardeners often wet their plants.

    The 2nd one has the growth habit of a Kiwi (Actinidia) vine of some type.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Interesting I agreed with Victorian ..salix/willow
    (Quote...Second one is a corkscrew willow, possible golden curls)
    Have turned pic.

    That does look like the branches off my corkscrew willow that I "hoover" up with the lawnmower.  This is an old picture but the full trunk in the picture is the willow.  It can't grow next to that fence if we're correct!

    @Silver surfer Sorry, I misread as 'corkscrew hazel' rather than willow, which I think it probably is (have never intentionally grown a willow!) :)  One way for the OP to be sure is to check for hairs on that gangly green growth from last season, but I couldn't tell by zooming the photo. Actindia can have quite hairy new growth, often tinged red.

    Thanks all.  Will definitely have to remove the willow and will post pics of the buds once they open (although I think that’ll be something big and have to come out soon too!)

    Hi all, for those who asked to see this with leaves - here it is! I’m pretty sure ‘hazel’ now too! Going to put on our community Facebook group now as it’s not going to work in our garden!
