A question about : Name this tree

Hi folks, can anyone name this tree for me please. Comes out in red berries during winter[IMG]/[/IMG]

Best answers:

  • Hmmmm, difficult from that one. Is it thorny?
  • I don't see many leaves.
    Maybe a hawthorn?
  • Would normally think rowan/mountain ash but berries have fallen by now. Can you do a close up of a branch?
  • It appears to be twice the height of the house behind it which is much too tall for a hawthorn or rowan. My best bet is that it is a female Igiri tree. From the various photographs and descriptions of this tree online it seems to fit the bill.
  • Jessica? that's a nice name, or maybe Richard if it is a boy tree?
  • A Cotoneaster, maybe?
    Maybe you could get the bird who lives in the nest to Tweet something about it...?
  • arbrighton. Your garage will be at most 12 foot high. The tree in the photograph provided is around 30 foot tall. I doubt very much that is a hawthorn.
  • The leaves are wrong for a hawthorn. Clicking on the picture and zooming in reveals a few leaves on it, and they are the wrong shape.
  • It's pretty certain that it's a cotoneaster, possibly watereri 'Cornubia.' They can grow to around 6metres.
    Mine are usually stripped by redwings around Christmas time, but this has been a mild winter....so far.
