Hi can any one identify this plant. I discovered it growing in the heliports I potted up from seed 3years ago, and forgot about. thanks

What's a heliport?
It looks a bit like an alder or a goat willow..................maybe

I think it's a young Cotoneaster.

That would seem feasible as it was growing under one in my last house. How do I separate it from the HELLIBORE without damaging either please?

I thought goat willow too.

How do I separate it from the HELLIBORE without damaging either please?

Water them very well, then fork them up. Separate them teasing the roots apart, then replant in the right place, watering them in very well again.

Keep watering if you don't have rain, until they are well established

Hmmm - the slightly grey leaves look like the new leaves on my honeysuckle - does it show any signs of sending up climbing stems?

[Bal]

No climbing stems just a small Spey green flower thing.
That should read spikey. I must check my post before submitting!

[Jeanied]

Definitely not honeysuckle then

Have a look at Goat Willow - Salix caprea | NatureSpot

I was worried they had added a fettish section when I read the thread title as "Plant I'd Please"
