Hi Elpato,  I think that tree is a Fraxinus species but I'm not sure. I'm not real familiar with Fraxinus and I don't know which variety might grow in your area. We have quite a few listed here in our database: https://garden.org/plants/sear... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Thank you, and that does look likely. I'll have a trawl through some local varieties. |

| I did a bit of googling and found these species that apparently grow in England: Common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/... https://www.woodlandtrust.org.... Flowering Ash (Fraxinus ornus) https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/... https://www.vdberk.co.uk/trees... Raywood Ash (Fraxinus angustifolia 'Raywood') http://www.deepdale-trees.co.u... https://www.shootgardening.co.... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Thank you! I'd just been doing the same. I think it's Excelesior since that seems the most common round here. Looks like it's got a fair bit of growing left to do too. Definitely doesn't get that wonderful red the last one does, sadly. |

 Looks like Raywood to me.He who plants a garden plants happiness. |
