Looks like one of the Rowans to me.

Me too. Its a mountain ash (rowan) tree. They are naturally trees of high ground and are fine in wind, but are not salt tolerant. Growing a tree from a cutting or seed would take a long time and perhaps not worth the trouble if it won't like the situation. Pity as they are lovely trees, with white flowers and red berries.

Could possibly be Sorbus cashmiriana personally I would not recommend trying to grow from a seed or cutting. Stera if you look this particular Sorbus has white berries. Being by the sea won't necessarily bother it but you would do far better with a sapling.

Can't tell one from another if the berries aren't ripe MG! But I did look up rowan at the seaside and the info there was that they were not salt tolerant.
But even if it is salt tolerant I don't think its worth trying to raise your own either from seed or a cutting.

They don't do at all well round here but whether that's low land, wrong soil or sea too near I don't know.

I grew up 500yds from the sea and the council planted rowan as street trees and they did really well. so they didn't mind the salt. I grew one from seed and 17 yrs on its a nice small tree. I know a long time but it was from a berry from the tree outside the childhood home.

An other thing about mountain ash (Rowan) is they are poisonous to dogs as I found out to my cost. Shadow being shadow when we 1st got him decided to eat the fallen berries and became very ill. Had to rush him to the vets sunday morning for treatment. Of course this doesn't matter if you not got dogs.

There must be some other reason why they aren't very happy round here then Sbg. They do grow but seldom to their full potential.What a lovely reminder of your childhood home to have a "daughter" tree.
MG I thought the berries were just unripe red ones. I can see what you mean now.

Pretty certain those are white berries Stera. Our Sorbus berries are all fully ripe.

I do love the red ones don't you? Next door have a tree that almost died, but it sprouted again from low down so hoping for berries any year soon...

To be honest I prefer the orange, yellow and white berried varieties...

mine is a reddy orange one, and is full of berries this year.

Takes all sorts MG. I like the coloured ones but never cared much for the white ones, though I guess the birds will tend to leave them alone? I remember my Mum making rowan jelly once. It was incredibly bitter but a glorious colour...

The blackbirds tend to eat the white berries. I made rowan jelly for years and it was never bitter. Berries need to be fully ripe plus sharp cooking apples and sugar and you have a wonderful condiment to go with game or turkey!

I think the problem was that we were trying to use it as jam...I think it was back in the days when turkey was an unheard of treat and I hadn't even heard of game...

Thanks for all the replies especially Jenlewis. My friend has a dog and, because she is very cautious, I now have her David Austin rose. Cue very happy me. I'll tell her what the tree is and that its poisonous to dogs.
Again, thanks to all who replied.
