    The tree is in France and there are quite a few locally I have noticed, perhaps it is just a shrub that has got too big.

    It's not one I recognise, I'm afraid! It sort of looks a bit oleander like, but I'm not sure the leaves are right! I shall try posting your pic on a Facebook page called Planet Plant ID, they seem to identify lesser known plants!

    I've just posted it there, and got a reply almost immediately - it is Lagerstroemia indica, or Crape myrtle. Very pretty!

    Thank you very much, usually get quick response on here but nobody seems to know this one.

    The Facebook Planet Plant ID page is brilliant for lesser known plants, as it has lots of overseas members.
