    Hi there,

      Also looks like ash to me (having an ash in my garden that not only drops it's seeds there, but also has them swept up and taken to my veg plot to sprout all over the place).

      In a few year's time that ash will be double, treble the size. You might want to think about that! I wish I had, when I left that dear little sapling to grow.

      I'd also say the tree is a young Ash tree, the leaflets seem too large for most Rowans...

      Thank you

      Just to say thank you to all your replies. Now I know what's in the garden, I can set about improving it.

      Cheers :dbgrtmb:
