    I think this is a fruit tree. It has never had flowers/fruit. Can anybody identify it and tell me how to care for the poor thing? Thanks xx

    Pear tree maybe? Tell it you love it and lovingly pour molasses and fertilizer at its base as a tribute of your ongoing love affair.

      Looks wrong for Sloe, but could be a Damson that hasn't born any fruit, are the stems just as red all around, or is one side lighter?
