        hello,the first one looks like a Photinia, the fourth one looks like a large Cordyline .The others are not clear from the photos, have you got all these in your garden?Quite a selection.

          In the first batch, 3 is euonymus, 4 is ceanothus (I think) and 5 is Mahonia (Oregon Grape)

            4 is definitely a ceanothus
            8 could be a clematis or a honeysuckle??

                    sorry bout the photo i thought close up would be better number 8 is a toughy as it hasnt come out yet deffinatly not a clematis for i have 2 of them. and one isnt a fushia as i have one of them too. I was fortunate to have a biggggggg garden even though im a bit lost on what to do with it as i'm used to tiny yard but will post more piccies during working progress, none produce fruit and they are all big and bushy if that helps at all all i can do is wait till the others have come out more and post more piccies number 9 i though was a twisted hazel because of the way it wraps round everything has no flowers just light green coloured flat leaves, again i'm hopless, if that helps at all im going to google the rest of the suggestions and see which ones matches hate not knowing stuff will post which ones right then puzzle over the others. many thanks guys

                      (piccy 3) deffinatly euonymus fortunei emerald'n'gold,
                      (piccy 4)californian lilac ceanothus.
                      (piccy 5 ) i call this the evil plant as it gives me a rash when i prune (if you can call it pruneing you need a chainsaw to get though the bugger) is deffinalty mahonia.
                      (piccy 6) photinia "red robin" i love this one looks better now i pruded it was all spindley when i moved in
                      (piccy 9 ) cordyline mountain cabbage tree. another one thats a pain anyone have any ideas what i can do with the forever shedding leaves as they don't compost
                      1, 2, 7, and 8 to go i thought 2 was a pittosporum still trying to find a piccy that looks like it though
                      great many thanks to everyone n.b. seems vicky knows her shrubs we know who to hassel next time
                      these shrubs are huge so if anyone wants some cuttings i dont mind experimenting and posting

                            I think 7 is probably some sort of 'wild' plum/damson/sloe type thing. I thought it had thorns? Hence Blackthorn.
                            Is there a fruit tree/wild hedge nearby that it could sucker from?
                            Go on, give us some more photos!
