I want one!

Sorry it's far away can't get any closer.

Love the bright colour and it has grown quick in the last 2 years.

Some sort of maple tree by the looks of it

Looks like my maple tree which is an Acer shirasawanum ‘Jordan’.

Is you can get close enough with a copy of Hillier's trees and shrubs in your hand, you might be able to work it out.

It's an acer of some kind. You might do well looking under Acer pseudoplatinus, but you will need to work out the variety. It's might well just be a really cheery sycamore planted by a bird.

Acacia?

Might be a sycamore- hard to trll. They grow really big and aren't suitable for normal-sized gardens. We have 3 growing in the field at the back of our garden about 30ft from the end if the garden. They are about 60ft tall but can grow to about 100. They look beautiful in the summer and protect the bottom of our garden if the sun is really hot mid afternoon.

@icantwaitforsummer ...and it will carry on growing quick. If it is a cultivated variety of sycamore or Norway maple then it will become much too large for a small garden.

I'd suggest you look for a Japanese maple instead, they come in a variety of leaf colours and won't take over the neighbourhood.

I also think type of maple, maybe Norway maple.

Acacia?

No, wrong leaves

MereDintofPandiculation · 12/05/2024 20:29

I agree with some sort of Acer (maple, sycamore)

MereDintofPandiculation · 12/05/2024 20:32

To get the same sort of effect, you could look at golden elm. There’s several near me, and they don’t seem to grow fast

Thank you all, i think it might be the acre you have said. Off to find one online 👍
