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.

I got the 404 treatment, too. But I wonder if it's an American ash:
"white ash", do they call it?
