I have almost decided on a Sorbus Vilminorii to plant in the
tumble-dryer
drum which now has a feature position in the middle of my newly
re-modelled
garden.

But for the past few days I've noticed another tree which I think
would look
good, but I've no idea what it is hence this call for help.

The specimen I've seen (whilst driving past) is approx 12 feet in
height
with a similar spread. It has lovely (pinnate?) leaf colours just
now but
what I find most intriguing is it seems to have upright cones at the
end of
each branch.

Can anyone put me out of my misery?

TIA

Pam.

Pam,

It could be Rhus Typhina (Stags Horn Sumach). Pinnate leaves,
beautiful autumn colour. It also has large dark wine red clusters of
fruits, which look a bit like cones. The only trouble with this is
that is it pops up everywhere. When I had one I was constantly
removing the seedlings.
