It's a sucker from a mature tree or a seedling. We get plum tree suckers (well, greengage to be accurate) from our tree coming up all over the top of our garden & they look exactly like this.

I think officially I can say, that I am still no closer really as it could be willow as Davesnave states, there are willow around. It isnt a sucker as it is in a pot and that is where it grew from. I think, it will be potted on in its own pot and time will tell. costs nothing.

if I get apples in ten to fifteen years then I will post again, notifying everyone ;-)

Judging by the leaf edge I'd say not willow. Also not toothed enough for blackthorn so some other Prunus is my favourite but you still might get apples.

Problem is when i planted it it had "another" plant in the pot but i left it and it looks like taht i was hoping it was another busht ype plant as it will fit well i dont want a tree! will try and post a pic.
