Their the fellas.. Thank you to all that helped the ID process.

p.s
Its amazing how many birds actually use these trees, every time I see
the one in the neighbours garden there's loads of birds in it
especially blue / coal tits & robins.

And another quick question if you dont mind ?
I know there are loads of garden centers around but can anyone advise of
a good nursery ? Just I tend to buy a lots of 'big plants' and garden
centers either have daft small ones for lots of pounds and rarely the
larger ones for a silly stupid amount of pounds.

Thanks Again Majors.


I've used Hedges Direct (http://www.hedgesdirect.co.uk) and their
quality/value equation has been good for plants of various sizes.
Although they market as "hedges" their plants are good as specimens as
well. There's another place just outside Buckingham that I've been
told is good - I think "Buckingham" is in their name. Try a search on
buckingham plus nursery, garden centre and the like. But there are
loads of such places around the UK. All you need to do is avoid
anywhere that has the words "Garden Cente" in its trading name ;-))
