Default Wotsit tree

There's a seedling of a tree I'd like to put a name to.

I collected the seeds under its parent, which is growing in Norwich.

The tree looks a little like an ash, with a very regular bark on a tall,
straight trunk - possibly fifty feet, and growing.

The seeds are more like big elm seeds than ash at first sight, with the
seed in the middle of the long membrane of thin translucent green
material. They grow in clusters like ash keys.

Next time I'm there I'll take a pic of the parent tree too.

Oh, my runners, grown just how they shouldn't be - they only get the
afternoon sun and are planted on only about six inches of admittedly
well-fertilised soil, at:
