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. |

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 wouldn't touch one with any sort of pole! However, It might possibly be contained by your drum. Pam in Bristol |

The flower spikes can look cone-like at a distance. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

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. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

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