Hi Insomniak
Garrya elliptica, a fairly common garden shrub. Great at this time of year.
All the best

Thanks, guys!
As you can see from the pic, it was in full display mode and really impressive. |

Agreed - it's Silk-tassel, Garrya elliptica, a North American (usually) shrub sometimes naturalised in a few places in the UK. There's supposedly some in the Avon Gorge, but so far I've yet to find them |

Well, the one in the pic is right outside the Red River Hog enclosure in Dublin Zoo! |

Planted, or self-sown? I've seen them in parks and gardens, but never in a wild state |

Like you I've seen many planted Garryas + looked after one for many years, but never found any self-sown seedlings or one naturalised anywhere. | | | |
