Road Tree Identification

Hi, the council have planned this tree outside my house but I'm unsure what it is, any ideas?

Thanks

Ornamental cultivar of rowan. Sorbus somethingus. The council probably thought your house needed protection from witches which was nice of them. I planted one in front of my house and my mother hardly ever visits now so they may be onto something.

Might be Sorbus Hupehensis?

Hi I think your on to something, I think it might be Sorbus Pink Pagoda, Mountain Ash. No witches so far

Nice tree. Can they come round to our place and plant one here?

Love the colour of the berries - do you think the birds might give them a miss? 

Steve Webb

So far the birds have avoided them but I suspect it's only a matter of time. My house has thousands of holly berries around it so they will probably finish them off first

They take red berries first , then orange and yellow. The pink and white ones usually get left until there are no other options. If you live in a milder area, they often won't get eaten at all.
