What type of tree is this?

Does anyone recognise it?

Anyone with a good eye for trees?

have you a close of leaves

It appears to be a grafted weeping tree of some sort, but without a close look at the leaves, very difficult to ID.

Weeping Silver Birch?

Looks like it may be a weeping cherry of some sort, possibly Prunus pendula Rosea. Difficult to tell though, without a close-up of the leaves and/or bark.

Here are a few of the leaves.

Yes, I think it does look like a cherry.

Weeping cherry I think, but doesn't look too healthy. If you can get it through the winter t'will be stunning in the spring!

Weeping cherry

It's a wild cherry according to the app I use to identify plants, and the care description says it needs some TLC. It needs water but not to sit in sodden ground.

A sad one

Manky looking things cherry trees are - in my part of the world anyway (wet climate and on clay). I was looking at mine today and thinking I might cut it down. But perhaps you should give it one chance to delight you with spring blossom before you decide its fate!

Thank you all, such a clever lot you are!

Weirdly it's not even my tree, I have just moved house and this is next door in an empty plot. My dad took one look, convinced himself it was a willow that was by going to grow massive and wreck both of our drives.

So it's a safe tree that won't grow hugely and wreck anything?

Definitely not a willow. Cherries aren’t usually regarded as being a problem. Despite what @SunsetOverEasterIsland’s app says, it’s definitely not a wild cherry with that shape. It’s probably a garden variety of cherry. Cherry bark is distinctive, which is why @Yamadori was asking for a close up of bark (or at least an in-focus non-close-up)

It is a cherry, but not prunus avium, which doesn't have pendulous branches such as this one does, nor would it be grafted. It wouldn't need to be, as it is the species, and only the varieties are grafted.

To be fair to the app though, most cherry leaves look pretty much the same!

To be fair to the app Why would one want to do that!
