Hi folks,



I realise this isn't a botanical group but I also know from years of

visiting here, there must be somebody (possibly many) who will be able to

help.



We have a friend who has a tree in their garden - seems to be a broad leaf

tree and it is currently (December - North Scotland) fully green with loads

of red berries. I've been googling but still don't know what tree it is.



I've placed a couple of photographs here

If anybody could identify it we would be very grateful.

It's a Cotoneaster. They are notorious for hybridising amongst themselves so naming is a bit of a minefield. The braver posters have got about as near as you can without an expert taxonomist to examinine the tree.
