Hi

I would like some help on these 3.

1.

Is there enough in this photo for an ID, or to point me in the right direction? It is a tree growing in the garden.

2.

Another one with very little to go on, but hopefully someone has an idea. Also growing in the garden.

3.

These are coming up all over in the garden. I'm not sure whether to leave them to get bigger or pull them out.

Thanks
Chris

1) I have seen before but I really can't remember
3) It looks like the leaves of a Rosa or Currant. If you do leave it do so at your own risk, They will take over very quickly

Hi Chris

1 I think is a Pyracantha probably P.coccinea

2 looks like a shrubby Hibiscus species but I don't know them. Tiggrx identified one in an earlier thread

2 is Hibiscus syriacus
3 look like Ribes seedlings to me.

Thank you for all the answers.

I'm especially pleased about the Hibiscus. I hope it flowers.

Number 3 is growing in the vicinity of a flowering red currant, so that makes sense.

Thanks
Chris
