    I have a tree in my garden that I've been unable to identify. It looks like it should be a fruit tree but never bares any fruit. It came into bloom last week. Does anyone know what it is? 20190527_102051.jpg 20190527_102220.jpg 20190527_102142.jpg

    Hello Fiona, if you Google 'Pyrus Chanticleer', I think you'll find the info you need :)

      Hi @Fiona Fenton if it isn't the one above then it could be ornamental Pear Pyrus salicifolia but these have a sort of furry underside to the leaves..

      Pyrus...a pear tree have red stamens...rules those out.
      Pears are early into flower

      pyrus flowers - Google Search:

      Pyrus salicifolia..willow leaf pear has narrow leaves....rules that out.

      pyrus salicifolia leaf - Google Search:

      The shiny leaves and clusters of flowers..wonder if it is Cotoneaster sp.
      It flowers in May.
      Hopefully there may be a few red berries later in the year.

      Could be Crataegus 'Prunifolia', a type of hawthorn which has those glossy leaves and should produce large red berries in the autumn.

      The bark looks right for hawthorn too.

        A hawthorn was my first thought too, looking at the photo.
