[carly]

my nan thinks it is mimosa

It's difficult to tell from the picture but it looks as though your Nan could be right.

Could it be a Kerria? Was the picture taken a few months back as that is when they flower.

[carly]

yes it started flowering a few months back

[veggiechicken]

Really need to see the flowers and a closeup of the leaves to be sure but I think its kerria too - probably Kerria japonica pleniflora BBC - Gardening: Plant Finder - Kerria
Mine is still in flower

[gingerbilly]

yep....looks very much like the 3 kerria I have in my garden........

[carly]

ty everyone

Definitely Kerria - mine has been beautiful this year and still has a few flowers open.

[Glutton4...]

Definitely Kerria. Can be invasive.

Mimosa is a really fast-growing tree - very common here. It flowers in february and has the most amazing perfume. Gorgeous.

Well they're both yellow, but that's where the similarity ends.
