    We have this tree in our garden and I'd love to know what it is.

    It looks like it seriously needs some pruning/training but I don't want to tackle that until I know what it is.

    All info very welcome as I am a complete gardening novice!

    I'm thinking yellow buddlia, never seen one in person so not 100% sure.

    Thanks a million - that's the one!
    No idea how to prune it though. Must look for a good book on the subject.
    Thanks a mill for your help
