Sorry Shibui, not an acer. :shake:
These buds burst into unusual flowers which look like little bright green feather dusters.

I just realized that I am not being entirely fair, this tree was purchased from a deceased estate. The seller did not know so I consulted a few respected club members who insist this is correct..........................
The common - European ash, Fraxinus Excelsior.
I believe this to be correct but have not seen such flowers on any other, so I could be persuaded otherwise. I will post photos when it flowers.
