Wotsit tree
There's a seedling of a tree I'd like to put a name to.
I collected the seeds under its parent, which is growing in Norwich. The tree looks a little like an ash, with a very regular bark on a tall, straight trunk - possibly fifty feet, and growing. The seeds are more like big elm seeds than ash at first sight, with the seed in the middle of the long membrane of thin translucent green material. They grow in clusters like ash keys. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/mystree.jpg Next time I'm there I'll take a pic of the parent tree too. Oh, my runners, grown just how they shouldn't be - they only get the afternoon sun and are planted on only about six inches of admittedly well-fertilised soil, at: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/beans4.jpg -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk |

Maybe others will have the same problem. Pam in Bristol |

But I wonder if it's an American ash: "white ash", do they call it? -- Mike. |

The message
from Pam Moore contains these words: For some reason it will not load for me. Maybe others will have the same problem.

The leaf looks more like Carya than Pterocarya, but I haven't seen the seed of Carya. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
