Mystery tree to be identified
« on: September 28, 2013, 04:56:23 pm »
Evening all

I've been trying to find out what this tree is - and I've had no luck, so wondered if anyone else had a clue!

It's deciduous and comes into leaf quite late. There's no blossom, and no fruit. No catkins. It's about 10-12 feet tall and has a weeping habit with quite a distinctive growth pattern (which you can sort of see on the winter photo - a sort of arched downward growth of new branches).

Does anyone know what it is, please?

The leaf looks like Aralia to me but don't know if there a weeping variety.

I've now found out what this tree is - it's not an aralia (though I did go off to check and and make sure - thank you Marlboro).

It's a Sophora japonica 'Pendula', and may well grow a bit taller than it is at the moment.
