  1. I probably got that wrong, it's more likely Cercis canadensis, with the red leaves. Spot on Sime, canadensis Forest Pansy.
  2. There's been a lot of alder beetle around this spring and the sawfly larvae are pretty easy to spot. Having said that I can't see any alder beetle in your picture either, but they do move on.
  3. Forest Research have it as "Narrow-leaved ash (F. angustifolia), a mainland European species also widely planted in the UK, is also susceptible". There is a Raywood I see regularly that we planted about 15 - 20 years ago, the 2nd summer we had Chalara in the common ash in our area it was definitely showing signs of it, but then it did seem to pick up really well. I went and looked at it today and it looks awful but then ash are running late this year and it might still come through. There is a Jaspidea next to it and that looks completely b*ggered.
  4. I wonder if it's yedoensis/yoshino. In the street view pictures there is only one from April, it's in flower then, the young leaf is green, and there are 2 pictures from May of different years, but the flower is finished by then, but I can't make out if it's a single or a double.
  5. What is the dilemma? If it's too big you can hit it back really hard in the winter and it will come back, just with a bigger leaf. The golden one works best when it's pollarded every year. They are late into leaf each year and they can get wind damaged easily.
  6. It looks like a Catalpa/ Indian Bean of some sort to me.
  7. The default setting seems to be "sort by votes" now rather than "sort by date", the button is on the right of the screen under the pictures of the OP's endeavours, sadly they seem at the top of every page now so there's no getting away from them.
  8. Those aren't grafted, they're hardwood cuttings.
  9. Looks quite a lot like strobus.
  10. I think on a non-combustible floor the slab the burner sits on is more to comply with the "visual warning area" regulations so that the stove is on a platform of a slightly different height to the rest of the floor.
  11. There's always Liquidambar Slender Silhouette, it wouldn't take up too much room, but like all Liquidambar, they are a bit prone to wind damage. The birch would have more of an open canopy but is quite surface rooting, gets aphid, so honeydew, and as a bigger tree drops a lot of twigs. All things being equal if the tree is in the top right, eastern corner, a lot of the canopy, and root development will tend to head towards the south and west.
  12. South Wales and woodland it's got to be T. cordata hasn't it? The leaf and branch looks right.
