HFF everyone!

HFF--Andy

Thank you, Fred!

Well whatever it's called, it's a lovely looking tree. A sort of blossom is on it - maybe a fruit tree of some kind.

Thank you, Jean. No, they seem to be tiny leaves, almost spines, of some kind

luxuriant vegetation!
Thanks and HFF, Andy!

Thank you, Judite!

Cant pick it either, nice shot of it though, HFF from the West.

Thanks, Steve. I prsume you mean Western Australia (in fact I know that's what you mean judging by your Margaret River reference!)

I zoomed in x2... looked hard - thought a lot... looked some more............... then bingo !!! just as I thought. !........................... I don't know what it is !
Keep well Andy... and a ripping HFF from Dj.

Well, I appreciate your efforts, Dave!!
Many thanks! Stay safe.

Well, I would say it looks like a tamarisk... HFF Andy.

Ah! That was one option, among many others, that Google Lens gave me! So that is looking favourite at the moment. Thank you, Christa!

Unknown for me too - but it' s a fine impression of the coming springtime. HFF, wish you a nice weekend, Andy !

Springtime is at its height here, Percy.
Many thanks!

nice shot, HFF

Many thanks, Mario!

Thank yoiu, Marie-claire!

Looks vaguely familiar to me Andy. Nice one with the phone. Well done.

HFF, have a great week. Herb

Thank you, Herb. All my shots have been with a phone since about 6-7 years ago! And even before then, my best photos (2011 / 2012) were with my much lamented Nokia N95 phone camera!

HFF Andy.

Great Spring scene Andy.

HFF, enjoy your weekend

Frode,
Doug,
Many thanks to you both!

HFF, Andy!

Thank you, Klaus!

HFF Andy

with your nice blossom image.
Unfortunately I cannot help you
finding out the trees name.

Never mind! Thank you anyway, Volker!

I'm not much help in identifying the tree either Andy, but it is very nice.
HFF and good weekend.

Thank you, Rosa. I was shown how to use Google Lens. I thought it would work as well as your recemmended app but it seems not. I might have to bite the bullet, but I understand you need to pay for it. Is that correct?

HFF and a happy weekend, Andy!

Many thanks, Berny!

Good work .
Have a great weekend, and stay safe :-)

HFF and best wishes for the weekend, Andy..

June,
George,

HFF, Andy ! Have a very nice weekend !

Thank you, Ulrich!

HFF, Andy and enjoy your weekend!

Many thanks, Stefani!

HFF Andy!

I can't offer an ID on the tree Andy..........but it's quite beautiful. I like the colourful fence as well.

HFF to you. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Beautiful tree, and beautiful fence! ;)) HFF Andy!

Lovely shot and a beautiful tree Andy, we don't have any like that in Somerset so I afraid I'm no help with the id

Nice tree in the park! HFF, Andy!

Great Image Andy.

The colored fence is a nice subtle accent in the picture.

Great comment, thank you, * ઇઉ *!

Lovely picture! Whatever that tree is I would love to have it in my garden!

Same here! Thank you, Eunice!

have a great week

Thank you, Trudy!

I love the tamarisk, Andy. Go back in a a few days when the flowers open up: it turns a beautiful soft and fluffy pink!
A very belated HFF and a nice week ahead!

Thank you, Annalia.
Will do!
I pass here most days so will keep an eye on it. Lots of rain and cloud at the moment though, so will try and get the timing right!
BUT, anyway you might not have seen my latest upload. Is that what you mean?

That is exactly it! And seen from a distance it looks like a cloud of soft, pink fluff, doesn't it?

Indeed, and I'll get some more shots of the whole tree when the sun comes out again!

Hi Andy!
I missed this when you originally posted it! Tamarisk species (a.k.a. salt cedar in this part of the world) are some of the most notorious invader species in the American Southwest, and (as per usual) were imported with The Best of Intentions. Here are a few photos of feral tamarisk:

Hopefully they don’t get away over there ;)

I had no idea of any of this, Steve! Thank you for filling in a gap in my education. I just saw an attractive spring blossom. I guess others thought so too and went ahead with planting. The story of much of humankind's well-meaning, but actually ham-fisted, approach to nature.

Glad you found it of interest, Andy! They were good for soil stabilization, which was the motivation for planting them, but there were some unintended consequences...
Knowing your interest in language, too: we always called tamarisk “salt cedar” when I was a kid. I didn’t learn “tamarisk” for years! I would guess it’s an Americanism, but the Online Etymology Dictionary is no help. Dictionary.com says the phrase dates to the early 1880s, at any rate. “Cedar” may just have been used for any vaguely exotic sort-of evergreen tree. In another usage from my childhood, we also called the junipers that are abundant at middling elevations in the US west “scrub cedar.”
