It looks like a yew, though the six foot growth a year is exceptional even for a yew. Do you have a photograph of its trunk and/or bark? |

The focus is somewhat out, but there's just enough detail to see the
very finely bipinnate foliage characteristic of Acacia dealbata. The silvery stems and young shoots give it away, even if impression is of the plant being greener than that species normally appears. Regular, hard pruning would account for this in any case and the op writes it is pruned back by 6ft. every year. If major pruning is carried out at any other time than immediately after the normal flowering period, then there will be few or no flowers for the following year. I suspect this is hard pruned in summer/early autumn, hence no flowers being reported. If pruning is carried out in March, then the ensuing growth will have the opportunity to ripen and develop flower buds, which will open during late winter/early spring of the next year. Left to its own devices, this tree would be a mass of brilliant yellow in December, January or February each year. |

I'd had it as Acacia (dealbata or similar) or Albizia. I hadn't thought to consider the colour of the twigs (red in Albizia.)

Having read your very informative reply, I am beginning to think you may be correct. It is indeed pruned every year, but usually around early winter to cut back the summers' over-growth (it can block a window if left untouched). There is indeed a mass of yellow buds on it (not really 'flowers' as such) during the later summer months/early winter months, something which I should have mentioned earlier. However, as I say, the buds only arrive late summer, soon after which it is pruned, so they tend to be forgotten about as they are not with us for long. I will try and get some more photo's and I'll try and remember to post back when it starts to bud/flower. |
