|  Can anyone help me identify this tree?
Hi I have a tree in our backyard I can't identify. It is about 12 metres/40feet and is deciduous. I have lived here for 15 years and last (2011) autumn it had fruit for the first time. These were black,spherical and about 5-7mm in diameter. The hard black shells split into 3 segments to reveal 2 hard white nuts about the size of peppercorns. It has alternate leaves and in late springs has "candles". It has a hard deeply scarred bark. Any help greatly appreciated Regards Richard   |

It looks like a tallow tree, Triadica(used to be Sapium) sebifera.

Hi Many thanks! This has been driving me nuts! I googled triadica sebifera and it looks very much like my tree! Only one small thing-all the pictures on the internet show the flowers as pendulous whereas on my tree they are all erect. I am sure that you have identified it Regards Richard |

These are planted as street trees in my area, and I have noticed that the inflorescences, when young, are held upright, and as they mature they tend to droop. Saying that, I have also seen both erect and pendulous inflorescences on the same tree.
