It resembles my fire bush in my side landscaping, of course mine is much taller and requires trimming a few times each summer. It has small red berries when it matures, birds eat, and drop the seeds where ever they wish and those seeds do not take much care to sprout.The foilage will turn a bright red in the fall, my named the fire bush. Presently mine is now bear
I think red osier dogwood comes closest: (Image removed from quote.)I'll go again tomorrow and take closer pictures, maybe even from the inside of the fence, but I hope nobody calls the cops on me (it's not in my garden).I'll also crush a leaf and smell it, maybe that holds the secret.

Presently mine is now bear That's probably dogwood, and that little guy is probably dogwood too. The branches match, and the characteristic wavy sides of the leaves.Cornus sericea - Red-Osier Dogwood(Image removed from quote.)That's a N.American native species though. Maybe it's that, or another similar looking one.
Try red tip Photinia. It is a common landscape plant in the U.S. https://www.thespruce.com/red-tip-photinia-growing-profile-3269221
In my experience gardeners are hard to shut up once you get them started on anything garden related.
From the new growth my guess is:Cinnamomum camphorahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamomum_camphoraIf it is, you should be able to identify it by crushing a leaf and smelling.....

Maybe that's it?Bad news if it is. I doubt they'll let that little guy grow any further.
I was afraid this would happen. Rest in peace little guy. You were more inconvenient than cute for this world.(Image removed from quote.)
