Hi BikesandBonsai,

Welcome aboard to the addiction that never seems to go away.
My guess is- Euonymus japonica Microphylla (Boxleaf).

Good luck.

Thanks Black Knight,
Looks like your right on the money after having a Google. I've given it a trim as seen in the pics. It looks to be a very hardy little variety.
I've quickly amassed a great selection of trees .I've been lucky enough to purchase off elderly enthusiast that don't have the ability to look after their collections anymore. I love the fact the trees are in some way heirlooms. Would love to be able to teach my young kids one day. I've enrolled in several courses and looking to join a club.
