mossdp Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Can anyone identify this common tree please? White blossom, oval leaves, large thorns. Many thanks. I am afraid I know more about railways! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It looks like a White Laburnum or Locust Tree. I used to sit for ages up a laburnum tree that overhung the road outside our house as a kid to cries of "get down, that's dangerous", "get down, it's poisonous" and "get down, that's just stupid".

Red Devil Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Agree it looks like a Robinia, most commonly seen garden form is the golden one, Robinia pseudocacia 'Frisia' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
industrial Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 It looks like a White Laburnum or Locust Tree. I used to sit for ages up a laburnum tree that overhung the road outside our house as a kid to cries of "get down, that's dangerous", "get down, it's poisonous" and "get down, that's just stupid". I also had one of these laburnum trees in the garden where I grew up and I am still alive, so is my sister, dad and aunty who all grew up in the same house.
