    Hi all. I walked past this tree everyday and have always admired it.

    Would anyone please be able to tell me what it is?

    Thank you

          I wouldn't rule it out. :noidea: If you did that you would have to rule out most of the plants in your garden. It's a superb tree :blue thumb: - unless you start eating the seeds.

            I had one when my kids were small - showing them the seeds was a good way to explain to them that you only eat what your parents say are safe! If you get the vossii hybrid you get magnificently long flowers and fewer seeds.
