It please me to be able to report that at
http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/Peter6/library/ are two new pictures, one
labelled 'Tree near house closeup of foliage' and one labelled 'Tree far
house closeup of foliage'. It seems I can't spell 'close up'. Very soon
the tree near the house will have white flowers, followed by dark berries.

I am in the South East of England, and so are the trees.

Whilst not that good on trees, because no-one else has felt able to comment
on your question due to your signature, I think the one farthest from the
house is a common Sycamore and the one nearest the house is an Ash.


Probably maple, actually, and definitely elder.


Thank you too. I'm confused now!
