Thanks

It is some form of hawthorn. There is a variety called the Washington
thorn, which has a wide top and brilliant autumn colour. In 25 years I
have only found about 10 seedlings off ours, so I suspect it does not
often germinate. Those seedlings also occurred when the tree was badly
stressed.

I've hunted around a bit and wonder if it's C. lavalleii? The height
doesn't seem right though, going by the earlier pics.
