Xylosma congestum

Huh?? Gesundheit!

That's a new one for me Diane. I couldn't even find it in my "Trees I've Never Heard Of Before" book. Had to look at Wikipedea.

Sounds like doctor-speak for a bad cold...

Haha, that's a good one, Rob.

Xylosma probably doesn't grow in your or Tom's region but I felt like throwing it out there.

I will start giving clues now, since this tree is a hard one...

There are several species of this tree, at least three of which are named for their region or country. There. That should do it.

I'll move over to Carpinus then

Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata' or 'Columnaris' ?



Although it doesn't seem to be holding its form very well...

Aye, well... I was workin' me way over thar to the 'mother country' with the Rowans, just taking me time, you know, but it looks like Rob beat me to it

Rob is correct, the lego bastid. The clue was based on the names of these trees:

American Mountain-ash

European Mountain-ash

Korean Mountain-ash

Methinks I am too generous with me clues.
