I wonder if anyone could identify this tree- it was planted by landscapers in my brother's new build.  The developers cannot help.  Any suggestions would be gratefully received.  It is deciduous.  Thank you.

    You can't attach photos that way.  Save them from your email to a folder and then press the little green tree icon and follow instructions to upload them here.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I must admit the first I thought was it was an apple tree because of the leaves but the shape put me off a little, also there were no blossoms.  I showed it to a gardener friend and she said apple too- apparently there is a column shaped apple?

    there are columnar shaped ornamental pears, e.g. Pyrus communis Beech Hill and Pyrus caleyrana Chanticleer which have been planted a lot quite recently on strets and places like retail parks. Leaves look more like Pear than Apple.

    Actually, I'm looking at my own pear tree at the mo and they are pear leaves- it's a shame they aren't edible- thanks Invicta2.  That makes sense because my brother's neighbour was given a crab apple type tree in her new plot.I'll review them for size and when they will start to blossom. 

    My brother is also tackling  the bind weed that the landscaper kindly rotovated (is that a word!)  for him!

    It's all over his new lawn!
