| |  [ID] Narrow-leaved tree with long flower stems
Morning all,
Me again... to end up  most likely. Anyway, can anyone identify this tree-like thing please? 10/06/2010  Narrow-leaved with long flower stems growing on the edge of near natural grassland and deciduous woodland
The stems are almost sticky, and the leaves and flower-like parts grow in bunch-like groups. I would like an identification as I found a couple of insects on it that may be identified by hostplant.
Thanks! 
Take care, Jason

Good morning, Jason!
I think your tree is an Itea.

Definitely Sweet Chestnut - Castanea Sativa.
What you are looking at are the male catkins/flowers. | | |
