Default Can anyone identify this tree?

Hello, I'm a new member of this group and I wonder if anyone can
identify a tree which I inherited when we took over our garden 11
years ago. It looked as if it had been there quite a while then, so I
would guess that it's at least 15 years old, maybe considerably more.

Its about 15 feet high, flowers in early May, but produces no obvious
seeds - no pods, fruits or berries. I've placed some photos on
http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Treyarnon/UnknownTree.


I agree, it's some sort of shrubby honeysuckle.
Possibly Lonicera tatarica.

Don't know why yours isn't setting berries, but since the plant is
potentially invasive, that's a good thing.
