Another what is this!

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has an idea what this is, found it at a tiny plant which I though was honeysuckle (as it's all over our garden), threw it into the pot it's in now, and didn't really look at it again until this weekend! I thought it might be a birch, and then a bay tree, but the leaves don't smell like bay…

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has an idea what this is, found it at a tiny plant which I though was honeysuckle (as it's all over our garden), threw it into the pot it's in now, and didn't really look at it again until this weekend!

I thought it might be a birch, and then a bay tree, but the leaves don't smell like bay would, and I'm not sure enough that it's anything else! Any help appreciated!

In an urban environment it's probably not a great tree. If you have a river through the property and don't mind it getting a bit ratty later in the season it does well with its "feet in the water", but in a typical urban garden it's probably not very well suited.
