I walked past this tree yesterday, and wondered what it was.

Right now it is about 3 m high. The trunk is silvery white,
peeling slightly. The branches form a true goblet shape, all
pointing upwards, and the newer growth is reddish.

Looks like a good choice for limited space.


It's a silver birch, but I don't think that publishing the address of
the house is a very good idea,


I thought it might be some form of silver birch, but its compact
nature surprised me. It looks as though it has been there for
some time, but remained a manageable size.

I simply linked to Google streetview. You may well have issues
with it, but I don't expect anybody rushing round to make off
with the tree.
