can they grow lychees in Worcester?

 

I'm flippin' moving down if you can!

....a stab in the dark - Katsure Tree Cercidiphllum japonicum

 

It is in Barchams then:001_rolleyes:

 

I thought the leaf tips weren't pointy enough and I seem to remember Scott posting pics of some very exotic trees in the past - I thought he'd done the same again.

 

I keep looking back to see if your one has been identified - it looks like some kind of weird crab-rowan. It's not a sorbus domestica is it?

Yes it is Giles! Your no fun, did you know that......

 

Well done

It's weird, the pinnate leaves on that one looked alternate. what's up with dat?

[Giles Hill]

A bit of a guess there John.

 

Here's one that I'd seen in books, but not real life - fortunately it had a name plaque next to it.

Nothofagus somethingorother?

[Giles Hill]

It's the next one in the book - Nyssa sylvatica.

 

When I saw it the tree, but before I found the name plaque, I thought it was some kind of evergreen tree. Obviously it's not, but the leaves are glossy like camelia or laurel.

Maybe I need a better book...

 

Looks a bit like "Cousin It" off the Addams Family

[ScottF]

Back at you!
