Thanks but I have already investigated that species and can confirm it is not it.... This tree does not seed or bare fruit. Also the leaves are much more matt than those of the Caucasian Wingnut!

Thank you though

Too bad, it's so close with the brown grey bark and suckering habit. One reference I saw said that Pterocarya fraxinifolia is allogamous in which case it wouldn't produce fruits unless there's another one nearby but if it doesn't flower either (assume it is old enough).....edited to add I found a couple of references to its not flowering in other European locations - still leaves the matt leaves problem though.
