nah, not italian as Rob said...

Tree is not Alnus cordata or glutinosa, incana is dull. I dont think its rubra either. All alnus ive seen including various grafted cultivars are much more widely spaced in the leaf habit.cones certainly look like alder. Have they fallen of another tree nearby and got wedged in mystery tree.

 

The tree twig looks like a malus spp. But could it be an exotic such as Tupelo known in latin as nyssa i think or similarly spelt.

Nyssa sylvatica does have fruit/cone type things but they are very very smooth, definitely not a nyssa

 

Good suggestion about the cones though

Another eliminated then, I was looking at the hues of colour.

I've no idea, I got as far as alder with the cones. Might try and get there tomorrow and investigate further with my camera!

It can't be that, it's not an alder I thought?

[Nige156]

It'll remain a mystery, it isn't local to me so can't nip there for a gander. Asked the builder to check the tree for cones and none were found, but there was an alder to the right of it

Apparently the building control guy said...fruit tree??

So I guess we were all right and wrong...

Thanks for everyone's input though
