At the top of the message bar there is a small picture of a tree next to the abc spell check, click on that and upload your pic. Hope this helps : )
Hello, I've uploaded pics by clickng on the "tree" icon next to the ABC icon above we we type. Hope that makes sense
Finally got the photo loaded
Hi Hayley,
It's a willow – not sure which species – but attractive when in flower in spring. It might turn into a bit of a thug if left unpruned, and their roots are one of the worst for damaging house foundations, so if it's near a building, you might want to consider getting rid of it!
Was the photo taken very recently? In other words, is it evergreen?
From here it looks like a cosmos but if the photo is recent it would be unusual to find one looking like that in the winter. A clearer photo would help us to give a better ID.
