The message
from Stewart Robert Hinsley contains
these words:


I came across this small flowering tree on the edge of a warehouse site
(presumably an amenity planting).

Anyone recognise it?


*eleagnus angustifiolia?

I'd say it's Elaeagnus pungens
Angustifolia has yellow flowers.

I meant to add that it has taken you quite a time to ask the question
as they flower in the Autumn.
David


It was photographed last Thursday.

However, apart from the impression that this tree was deciduous,
Elaeagnus pungens doesn't look a bad match. I'll dig round that genus
and see if anything else comes up.
