I have almost decided on a Sorbus Vilminorii to plant in the tumble-dryer
drum which now has a feature position in the middle of my newly re-modelled
garden.

But for the past few days I've noticed another tree which I think would look
good, but I've no idea what it is hence this call for help.

The specimen I've seen (whilst driving past) is approx 12 feet in height
with a similar spread. It has lovely (pinnate?) leaf colours just now but
what I find most intriguing is it seems to have upright cones at the end of
each branch.

Can anyone put me out of my misery?

TIA

Pam.

No, it's not this. Doesn't look like any sort of conifer

Don't like red wine - now, if you had offered baileys....;-)

Pam,

It could be Rhus Typhina (Stags Horn Sumach). Pinnate leaves,
beautiful autumn colour. It also has large dark wine red clusters of
fruits, which look a bit like cones. The only trouble with this is
that is it pops up everywhere. When I had one I was constantly
removing the seedlings.

I agree with Iris . They are looking wonderful at the moment. BUT...
They are a devil once they start sending up suckers. I wouldn't touch
one with any sort of pole! However, It might possibly be contained by
your drum.

Could it be a sumach? The flower spikes can look cone-like at a
distance.

The deciduous conifers are Larch (Larix sp), Golden Larch (Pseudolarix
amabilis), Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glypostroboides) and Swamp Cypress
(Taxodium sp.). Larch does have upright cones, and does have reasonable
autumn colour (at least I thought it worth photographing).

OTOH, I'd've said that of the four it was the least likely for the
foliage to be mistaken for pinnate.

Sounds like sumach, you can check a picture in google/images. Tends to
sucker, hence the spread of the patch you noticed.

Don't bank on it. The sods sneak out at night while no-one's looking.
