We used to get it in many years ago. Much underused large shrub/small tree. The flowers scent is just gorgeous. Hard to believe it as they are so tint and virtually green-yellow.

Checked it on google, its the golden form Ptelea trifoliata 'Aurea'. It has an AGM so is a worthwhile addition to any moderate to large garden. Lovely plant!

Thanks SteveN, I'm not surprised it has an AGM I'll make a note of it's name and I may even email the Council as it's in the local park which is due for major reconstruction after archaeological digging. I don't want it to come to any harm.
