Hello Anni 😊 I was looking for a tree that had interest across all seasons and this really fitted the bill. Plus it’ll give passers by something lovely to look at too.
Mine got attacked by sawfly and other minor things in its first year, so I'm hoping that after the winter and with a good feed of seaweed tonic in the spring, it will have better resistance.
@dappledshade , this tree is considerably older than yours (30 years), but this gives you some idea of what's (hopefully) to come. This was in April this year.
@Bright star, l don't which variety it is l'm afraid. It was planted by the developer. The guy who was in charge of the planting knew his stuff, and l made a point of asking him what it was, but not the variety. (Back in those days l didn't know that there were different varieties of tree types).

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
They'll just have to be in the next garden....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
