After taking advice from here, you people are so good ( @mikethegardener or @rbetts25 sorry can't remember which, age kicking/tripping in) and reading up about its invasive suckering habit I've dug up the Rhus growing in my bed and potted it up till I decide what to do, my thoughts are a very large shallow'ish pot

Very good advice! I had one of these in my garden a few years ago and had to dig it out. I now grow it in pots and the beauty is that I can move the pots around and have them in different displays depending on the time of year. A great specimen plant or an interesting addition to groups of pots. 👍😍 @jpea

Lol, I was going to suggest you keep it in a container when I saw the pic, then read that you'd already discovered that! It's a cool plant and the berries make a good tea

I'd give one to you Keely if you like, your welcome but it will need a major size pot soon

Haha, can’t take credit for this one @jpea however I probably would’ve given the same advice as we had one in the garden where I grew up and it popped up all over the place. Not for long though as frequent games of football and cricket kept it in check!

Hahaha, that conjures up a wonderful scene @rbetts25 three saplings make a perfect wicket

Please help me identify this plant, it's grown well over winter in the greenhouse but now I need to know where to site it. Thanks (it's about 250mm high at the moment) #plantid
