    Hmmmm, difficult from that one. Is it thorny?

    I don't see many leaves.

    Maybe a hawthorn?
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Would normally think rowan/mountain ash but berries have fallen by now. Can you do a close up of a branch?

    I was thinking this too as the shape of the branches etc suggests it, and hence my question about thorns? Really doesn't look like a rowan in terms of shape
  • It appears to be twice the height of the house behind it which is much too tall for a hawthorn or rowan. My best bet is that it is a female Igiri tree. From the various photographs and descriptions of this tree online it seems to fit the bill.

    We have a hawthorn behind our garage which is reaching up above its roof. They can get quite large
  • Jessica? that's a nice name, or maybe Richard if it is a boy tree?

    A Cotoneaster, maybe?

    Maybe you could get the bird who lives in the nest to Tweet something about it...? ;)
  • arbrighton. Your garage will be at most 12 foot high. The tree in the photograph provided is around 30 foot tall. I doubt very much that is a hawthorn.

    The leaves are wrong for a hawthorn. Clicking on the picture and zooming in reveals a few leaves on it, and they are the wrong shape.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
