Hi,
Can anybody help me out to identify what is the name of this tree please? I live in Seattle Washington State.
Thanks

What a mess...

Looks like a Caragana

Yes indeed is a mess. We just bought the house and try to cleanup. Along the fence ( the other side is a hoarder neighbor) we suppose to have some fruit trees and we do pruning, but some of them are looking like that in the picture and we don't know what they are.

What do you mean by that? Is it a plum?

 

[JD3000]

Mrtree probably already gave the ID.
Caragana, pea tree

Plums send up root suckers like crazy and get beat up and look scraggly kind of like that bush. Just a guesss

yup, that's a plum with witch's broom growth habit because it's in the shade. lot's of times around here i've seen that identical broom thing on established scaffold limbs of italian plums that are super dense. probably, as was said previously, a root sucker from nearby plum or a volunteer from seed. either way it's a kill - can't talk it out of what it's doing.
