    Looks like Prunus lusitanica, a plant very commonly used in landscaping in the region. Might be a cultivar.

    Does it drop black “cherry-like” fruit?
    What a mess!

    If not this laurel as we call it casually - which laurel has the black fruit and birds love it - and it then seeds very efficiently

    You wouldn't be thinking of Daphne laureola would you? I don't think it grows as tall as Prunus lusitanica.

    Yes that’s one of viburnum

    @Ron B will know (post above earlier) — are some ornamental viburnum grafted to rootstock ?

    I had a really nice one (with copper leaves) (i have in my mind it was « bronze beauty »

    and it expired — I think it was sending up branches from roots
