I'e got this delicate little tree in the garden. At 25 years approx
it has stretched up to about 6m tall, and is about 150mm diameter at
the bole. It has tri-lobed divided leaves with pointed tips, and a
smooth, non-waxy surface.


The best chance of identifying it is when if flowers, as long, fine,
catkins. I'e taken pictures.

Given that I have never seen any fruits, I think it is male!

Any ideas what it might be? Anyone?

Thanks, and a fair fit on the leaves - mine is not hairy, however. nor is
the flowering anything like.
It's puzzled me this one for years.
