Does anyone know what this little bush thing is? I'm about to destroy it as it's in my way, but I thought I should check first that it's not something that's really good for buns!

I don't know unfortunately but it doesn't look like anything yummy for bunnies. Just a woody shrub. Hopefully Parsnipbun will spot your post and be able to identify it for you.

Thank you. I've only managed to identify it as "leafy green thing" :lol: I'm not good with plants. I had hawthorn growing in the garden for years before I realised what it was. I thought it was just a "spiky green thing".

I have no idea but we have the same plant in my garden and I'm constantly chasing them off it because I have no idea if it's safe. :roll:

I think it might be winter jasmine, does it have yellow flowers really early in the year?

Yes, I think it does flower, but not for long. I think it's already flowered this year. Is winter jasmine known to be safe or toxic?
