Ooh la la - help an ex pat - Plant identification required
No. 1
The inflorescence of a palm. Most likely Phoenix dactylifera. If the
flowers develop waxy petals then it is male.
Erm no, those large spathes give the plant away, it is a male plant of
Trachycarpus fortunei.
No. 2
Liriodendron. Tulip tree. A good looking specimen.
Yes brilliant trees aren't they? Pity they take a bit of time to
reach flowering size. Still those oddly shaped always make a god
talking point and the autumn colour can be superb.
