Most likely to be Symphoricarpus albus then, by the looks of things. Lovely looking tree too. Only one I have seen in this area.

Thanks Dave

Are these a native tree or are they naturalised?

[Tiggrx]

They are naturalised. They were formerly very commonly planted around big houses, so country people often corrupted the common name to "Snobbery"

[aeshna5]

They come from North America, rarely seed here, but do sucker. They were often planted for pheasant cover. Holly Blues occasionally use it to lay eggs + flowers are liked by bumblebees. The related hybrid Coralberry with pink flowers is also occasionally naturalised.

Thanks Bushcraft and Alan.

A colleague once buried a Snowberry bush under a lorry load of rubble and topsoil, hoping to get rid of it. No such luck! A very tenacious plant.
