    Hi again Bionicman

    you did get an answer on the other threadimage

    It's Davidia involocruta, the handkerchief tree. What an amazing sight. I wonder how long it takes to get to flowering size



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    15 years from 2'.  Hmm. Maybe not. I'll be too old to care by the time it flowers
