    Anyone know what this is? It's about 20ft tall and a beauty, flowers all spring and early summer and fragrant. Bark is handsome and constant peeling look. IMG_1710a.jpg

        Thanks SSurfer, spot on. I was wondering if it might be but thought it was way too tall and wide to be. Still I think it is a very mature specimen.

        Cheers
