Well I'm no tree or shrub person, birds are more in my line but this looks like a Horse Chestnut bud to me.
I may be wrong though. |

Yep, give me birds anyday too - but I dont think its horse chestnut, looks totally wrong for that, including it had many upward shoots rather than a strong central stem and wasnt pollarded etc, cheers Ollie, grateful!

Hello,
It's definately Aesculus spp (Horse hestnut). They have upwards shoots and, incidentally, are rarely pollarded as they have poor response to any heavy pruning.
What does "medium bush size" mean?
Regards

OK, thanks guys, and apologies roger!
Perhaps the 'a' I mentioned was for Aesculus............
Still not quite totally convinced about pure horse chestnut  but what do I know - maybe one of the hybrids, such as red, or perhaps A indica??
But thanks again.
By medium bush, just thought I'd try and give an idea of size, about 8ft high.
Cheers
Ken

Looks like amelanchia (Oh dear have I spelt it right.) If so it should have pretty white blossom in a couple more days. |

Great idea, snowy mespilus, amelanchier spp, I'll check, but that sounds very good, many thanks!
(its not horse chestnut!)
Cheers
Ken
