I walked past this tree yesterday, and wondered what it was.

Right now it is about 3 m high. The trunk is silvery white,
peeling slightly. The branches form a true goblet shape, all
pointing upwards, and the newer growth is reddish.

Looks like a good choice for limited space.

Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh.

It's a silver birch, but I don't think that publishing the address of
the house is a very good idea,

I suspect that it is a Himalayan or Chinese birch. I'd guess at Betula
jacquemontii, and likely a selection such as 'Inverewe' or 'Inverleith,
but I'm not familiar enough with the group to exclude Betula utilis or
Betula albosinensis.
