Hello,
just need some help identifying this tree.
Here are 3 photos
It has a wide spread, say - 8 to12 ft diameter, about 6 ft tall with lots of branches. Any ideas, please let me know!
thanks

some sort of cherry maybe
Have you a photo of the trunk?
In the sticks near Peterborough
sorry too dark!
I agree with nutcutlet.
Definitely Prunus sp...cherry.
Judging by the glands on the leaf stalk ....Prunus avium would be my suggestion.

brilliant! thanks alot.
btw - When is the best time to prune and how much would be safe? I think my friend wants alot taken off, but I'm not sure if thats a good idea... Also, as we're in scotland, would there be any fruit to look forward to?
Do you have Wood pigeons in Scotland? If so, they will take most of the crop.
