Hi all,
Have this tree in the back garden, looks very healthy and quite attractive, reddish stems and soft green leaves with a dusty grey tinge on the reverse. Be very pleased if anyone could identify it so I might learn how to look after it - although seems to be doing OK on it's own so far. Thanks.

Lovely tree
Very unusual bark. Sorry can't help, but someone will be along soon who can I expect.
Is it the Judas Tree? Cercis siliquastrum.
I'm wondering about one of the cercis.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Did it have pink flowers in the spring DD?
Looks like a katsura tree to me
could be Bamboogie, they're closely related aren't they

Looks like Chinese Redbud to me, too. Here's the back of a leaf from my young Cercis chinensis 'Avondale':
Edit - after zooming in to the original pics I can see a slight serration on the edges of the leaves, so Bamboogie is probably right - a Katsuma (Cercidiphyllum japonicum.)
Thank you very much I think it is a Katsuma Cercidiphyllum japonicum. Looks easy enough to look after as well - phew, one less to worry about.
