    OK 3 pictures the tree one photo is a close-up of the leaves and another of the full size tree.
    the other is a shrub grown from seed and is evergreen and it was one of those mixed packets that were a free gift with an order of so many £'s.
    hope the photo's are clear enough

    just what I thought at first but its evergreen and searching through the seed cat the seeds came from I can't find anything in the hibiscus section(just wish it would flower so it would make it obvious what it was).
    looking back at the invoice it does say that the mystery seeds are shrubs and tree's so suppose it could be a tree?

    think I know now what the tree is pretty sure its a goats willow AKA pussy willow but still looking for the ID of the shrub/tree.

    The photos seemed to be down Glasfryn. Could you repost them so we can take a look?

    well it looks like I have found the answer after looking in a book that shows the leaves clearly,
    its seems the plant is actually a tree PLATANUS.acerifolia or better known as London plane
    So it has been moved to the back of the garden as it could grow to 100ft(but I doubt I will be around to see it grow to that height)
