Nondescript shrub ID
Hello
Can anyone tell me what this might be? It doesn't seem to do anything, at least it hasn't this year (but probably recovering from being hacked to the ground in January for fence replacement). I don't remember it from before that, but it was probably smothered in ivy in the past. Should I give it room for a while longer and see what it does, or ditch it?

Forsythia?
Nah. That has sort of .... well, it's not Forsythia, forsooth. Dunno wot tho
I *think* I would have remembered if I had a forsythia... but you're right, it's possible. In which case I would keep, as I'm rather fond of them.
Forsythia leaves look ike this

Hmmmm. That's similarer (?) Never come across that one before
Any prunus of any type nearby? And were they affected by the fencing goings on? Could be prunus suckers

Might be one of the spiraeas. You don't get much more nondescript than that

There's a plum on the other side of the garden and it's throwing up suckers like nobody's business
. But it's red, this is nothing like it and I don't think there are any others.
Maybe I'll let it carry on growing for a while and see if it does anything...
At first I thought it was a philadelphus, as there's one nearby in next door's garden. But the leaves are wrong.
That's either a plum or a damson.
