I'm gonna go Pterocarya then? P. fraxinifolia?

[Dan Curtis]

Ahh, you've got it. Well done, pretty good considering the nature of the shot:thumbup:

There's one near me, but not as big, lovely tree:thumbup: (and very distinctive bark:lol:)

[Dan Curtis]

This one is seemingly doing well, stem division aside. I can remember it being relatively small, now has nearly 2 ft diameter, and creating its own little grove of suckers. If you ever get the chance go and see the one (s) at Cambridge botanical garden, awesome to behold!

gonna take some time out once uni is finished in May and see as many arboretums and botanical gardens as i can, so no doubt i'll hopefully come across this at some point:thumbup:

Ok Rob whaddaya reckon?

[RobArb]

Mmmmm:biggrin:

 

Off that pic alone, its going to be a guess, so.... Tis an old pollard and a fine looking tree:thumbup: Almost Platanus-like in form, but i don't think its P. x hispanica so i'm going to say P. orientalis, for now:biggrin:

I'm being a bit mischievous 'cos it's on another thread. (hama's pollard thread)

I think it's an Oriental plane but I am not sure it's ever been pollarded.
