    Did you get to the bottom of what the plant actually is? I certainly think it is a contoneaster of some description.

    We haven't seen our neighour since, to be able to question further about the origins of the tree/bush he gave us. But, from all the kind people here offering advice, plus searching the net for aaages, we think our neighbours tree is almost certainly a Ceonothus, but ours must be a Cotoneaster...Once you lovely folk gave me something to go on, it was easier to do a few searches myself, and I do agree: Cotoneaster :T

    Excellent!! Two or three years ago I'd have never known what your plant was, but I've really got in to gardening over the past few years and do like planting plants with the RHS awards and the cotoneaster's have plenty of these awards. All the best.
