It's about 3 ft tall, seems many years old (I've only been here six months) and the trunk seems to be very different from the top part i.e. the branches. The trunk is dead straight and had some side shoots which I've snipped off. The side shoots had completely different leaves from the leaves on the branches. The side shoots look like willow to me, while the branch leaves look like cotoneaster I'm told. It's hard to photograph as its surrounded by other greenery which interferes with the clarity.
Some photos anyway:

One of the side shoots I cut off from the trunk.
The difference in the leaves is making me wonder if the top of the tree is grafted onto a different trunk, in the way roses are grafted onto rootstock. Any advice much appreciated, I know very little about gardening but having acquired a nice garden, I'm needing to learn fast!
