Chilli_dog, can you add where you are? If you want to add this info to your profile:

Go to Your Houzz in upper right of every page, click Edit Profile, and on the left side click advanced settings. Well down the advanced settings page is a blank labeled Climate Zone for Garden Forums along with a link to find your zone.

If you add info on your state or the nearest large city you will get even better information since zone only relates to average coldest winter temperatures.

Then return to the top of the page and click Done Editing.

The photos do resemble Prunus serotina leaves and growth pattern, but I am honestly not familiar with ornamental cherries in the same way since most are at best borderline hardy here. So if no one says it does look like an ornamental, it is most likely P. serotina. Mine haven't leafed out fully yet, but I can take photos in a couple of weeks for comparison. P serotina have a couple of glands at the base of the leaf by or on the leaf stem, but I don't know if they are visible at this stage of development and they are tiny. You can do an image search with "Prunus serotina leaf gland" to see them

Thank you so much to everyone that responded, I have learned a great deal from all of the awesome information! These bushes are so exotic and beautiful! One more question if anyone knows, these particular ones seem to grow from a rhizome, do they all and are they hard to start from seed?

The shrub appears to have alternate leaf arrangement . That would rule out Viburnum.

I'm going with Ceanothus as well. But knowing where the OP is located would certainly help to narrow things down.

Well, no not in November. But it looks fairly young and healthy, so as long as you don't get a horrendous winter up there you should get a good show next year. Both it and the Cytisus batandieri are not massively hardy in cold areas, so since yours are quite mature you appear to be in a fairly mild spot for Yorkshire.

ahhh.. win some.. lose some .. lol ..

you have a very diverse garden... you will learn.. next year.. that the prior gardener.. probably planted things to have waves of bloom or color.. thru the whole season ... [thought this late in fall ... not much is blooming]

fall is not the time to bemoan no color ... its time to see the light at the end of the tunnel called winter... knowing it will bloom.. next year ...

for some of us.. in snow country.. its the only thing that gets us thru winter.... [as flora noted in the other post...]

Looks like the cultivar "Joyce Coulter"

Joyce Coulter is a 2 foot mounding cultivar. We can't see the whole thing but I don't think that's what Chilli has. There are loads of them available here so I wouldn't like to hazard a guess.
