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

I thought it might be some form of silver birch, but its compact
nature surprised me. It looks as though it has been there for
some time, but remained a manageable size.

I simply linked to Google streetview. You may well have issues
with it, but I don't expect anybody rushing round to make off
with the tree.

Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh.

Yes, it's a White Birch as Stewart Robert Hinsley says, not to be
confused with our native Silver Birch B.alba. Looks like the owner has
been pruning it to fit his image of how the tree should look. For
myself I like to see them grown more freely.
