Hi,

We have a mystery tree growing in our garden in Scotland. It started
as a twig with some other plants, but has grown to be about 10ft tall
now, but we've never been able to identify it.

It grows bunches of orangey-red berries in autumn - a bit like a Rowan,
but the leaves appear to be all wrong for that.

Not sure which country it's from or anything - any help or pointers
would be appreciated. Photos are he

Looks like some type of Whitebeam (same genus as the rowans). Skimming
Mitchell (Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe) the
Swedish Whitebeam, Sorbus intermedia, seems a fair match for the shape
of the leaves. (There's lots of species of Whitebeams, Rowans and
Service Trees, but none of the other commonly planted species have
leaves like this.)
