What is this tree? About 3*4m tall, lollipop shaped, with bark
like a
cherry, but the fruit is more like a hawthorn. I'll need the
Latin name so
I
can order it and get the right tree.

Could be Crataegus persimilis 'Prunifolia'. Supposed to be one
of the best
hawthorns. I planted one last autumn which is doing well.

Did you mean 34m tall? If so it is unlikely to be the above ;-)

Brilliant thanks! I had a feeling it was more of a hawthorn... (
height 3
*to* 4 metres but it wouldn't really matter if it did reach 34
here). Are
the berries ok for birds - that would be the 'cherry on the cake'
;o)

Fieldfares and redwings are particularly fond of haws, but they are
shy of coming close to dwellings.
