    I'd say it's a hawthorn.  Loads around me.  The leaves look quite fat.  Could be a showy variety?  Get some photos of it in blossom next month.

    That said, I love the wild natives, a tree that's definitely in my top 10.  Love the young growth and when in flower.

    The leaves look very similar to my young hawthorn tree “Crataegus laevigata Rosea Pleno” It too has long thorns.

    Thanks so much everyone. Really appreciate the input. Will definitely take a photo of the blossom. Thanks again.

    Hawthorn House - a nice choice.

    Hawthorn House is lovely...but now you just HAVE to tell us what the awful name is.  We won't tell anyone.

    My friend's in-laws named their house some arrangement of the initials of the moon landing astronauts in 1969.  It was so bad I can't even remember it. Not a real word!!! It remains so-called to this day.
