hi was just wondering what type of tree this is?? it is really attracting the bee's (which i dont really mind as i quite like bees) but it is also making them really quite drowsey they keep falling from the tree or just flying in to people...lol but it is in our front garden so people like the postman have to walk past it and are now moaning about the bee's so i was just wondering what type it is?

Thank You

It looks like a cytisus battanderi (pineapple brush tree) do the flowers smell of pineapple?

erm not sure what they smell of really. just nipped outside to get one of the flowers off. they are kind of like small yellow flutes really pretty. they do have a really nice smell to the though!

Galbee,

What about a Buddleia sp (butterfly bush)?

Garry Brockley · 29th July 2009, 10:46 PM

no everything is wrong for a buddleia they have purple flowers generally, and the bark and leaves are wrong.
you know when you know a plant/ tree but cant remember the bloo*y name of it its so frustrating.
