    I think it might be some kind of symphoricarpus not the common snowberry (albus) but something else. Either way its a suckering shrub that you don't like so take it out and bin it or put it in a shady corner where nothing else will grow.

    I would agree with symphonicarpus of some sort - not one of my personal favourites. The wasps like it though:(

    Previously explained it here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3389896

    It is absolutely vital that your neighbour does not go round pulling it up - we have one person who does that, and as a result there is no stem to treat and it comes back up the following year.

    Areas where we let it grow for the summer and then treated it are clear now.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
