A friend has asked me to identify a tree, and I'm stumped. Over to you lots. xx
Help us out here. Where is it, UK or abroad? Is it flowering now? Scented?
Could be a rhodie.
Elm seeds
Check out the bark, I am sure nutcutlet is correct.
Yes, elm seeds - I suppose they're only familiar to we older ones
she sent me another photo, which I can't find. It looks to be about 3 - 4 metres high with a distinct weeping habit.
Ptelia trifoliata would be a second choice, or possibly a first choice it it's that small and making seed. The flowers smell lovely

On reflection could it be Ash ?
No, nothing like ash - not one I've ever seen anyway
I love the way those google search links leak out of the box and drift across the screen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptelea_trifoliata Doesn't llok right to me Nut, the seedcases in this link have stalks - the ones in the OP don't.
