[PaddyFF]

Common in gardens where planted, never seen a naturally occurring one

[se7enthdevil]

ah! ok.

 

as you can see it is behind a hedge in a garden...

[Goaty]

For a few years Hull City Council used to give every new parent the choice of one of these or a mountain ash or juneberry. Until the budget cuts by the government.

 

They are about if you are looking for them. But not that common.

I have one in my garden and have lots of seedlings from it, they are all over the garden. Most purple, some green. I have recently seen a seedling growing up a few hundred meters away in a verge. Squirrels nicking the nuts..
