Dnk Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Can anyone help me identify what type of tree this is please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 No 100% but could be poplar or prunus of some species, did it self seed and grow very quickly, and you cant see a tree similar nearby? Edit: if it has silvery coloured undersides to the leaf, it could also be sallow, which is a member of the willow family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 A woman is renting a house next door to one of my properties and i'm a tad concerned as its growing at a very quick rate and wondered how big its going to get. She's planted it directly above the main sewer which is my biggest concern I've tried searching lots of sites but can't 100 % identify it. She never seems to be in or I would of asked her what it is and then take appropriate action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Good lad, I work in home insurance and if you've suffered subsidence previously your insurance at that property will be insane for as long as you live there. Most companies won't even quote unless it was more than 25 years ago too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
