Not very much to go on

[skyhuck]

Does she think she knows what it is?

 

If not then just make up a name, something really obscure, invent an equally obscure disease that its suffering from, and tell her it needs to be felled to prevent the imaginary disease from spreading.

 

Sorted.

Looks like a Chinese catalpa

I'll save your dignity and agree that the leaves are ver similar.

 

You can pay me later

 

I think i love you janey:biggrin:

Catalpa ovata

[Rupe]

Sounds like a plan! I'm not overly bothered, I picked up 2.5K of work in one visit to a new customer, so identifying this thing is only a side question. It will be felled if it doesn't put some growth on pretty quickly! She's waterign it for now!

 

Yes, she does think she knows what it is becasue someone else has told her, so she thinks she will recognise the name if she hears it, but the person who told her might not be right! The last person who worked on it appears to have thinned it to within an inch of its life anyway! Also she cant get the name of the three boys and three dogs right, its all Tarquins and Felixs running around, chaos, you know the sort!

In that case its probably a Tarquinodendron felixensis.

 

Suffering from a nasty case of Bombay Sapphire disease.

Catalpa ovata

 

Thats good, the purply leaves look exactly right! The others, well there aren't any perfect leaves like that on it.

Looks like a Chinese catalpa

 

Is that the same as "ovata" my book calls it yellow catalpa?

[RobArb]

yeh, chinese/yellow catalpa (i think) is the Catalpa ovata

[Rupe]

In that case its probably a Tarquinodendron felixensis.

 

Suffering from a nasty case of Bombay Sapphire disease.

 

You got it!
