Can anyone identify this tree? It has cone shaped spikes of furry, dark red flowers in summer and autumn, and the leaves are long, and each has 7-13 individual, tear shaped leaflets. It looks a bit like a giant Celosia. Can anyone help?

Working of limited information, of course--how tall, color leaves, bark description, what climate, etc--but it sounds a lot like a callistemon, better known as a 'Bottle Brush'. They're smallish trees, known for their beautiful plumes of color. Here's a good pic. http://www.windspirit.co.za/images/brush_blooms.jpg Apr 14 05, 1:14 PM

That's not it. The flowers are dark red, cone shaped, and it has long, segmented leaves with leaflets. They've become very popular in the UK... Apr 14 05, 3:52 PM

Rhus typhina - a sort of sumach. Throws up suckers like crazy, and grows into a small branched tree. Bark is sort of velvety. I love them. Apr 14 05, 5:36 PM

Yes! Thankyou so much! I'm forever in your debt. Have a YAY, and one voucher, redeemable for one favour. Apr 14 05, 5:39 PM

Forgot to add link to picture http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/rhus_typhina.html and to say they're hardy in the UK. Apr 14 05, 5:47 PM

This deciduous tree has large, tear shaped glossy leaves, and in winter, exhibits both catkins and cones, but the catkins are more abundant. What tree is this? Can anyone help me identify who is The Scholar's Pope? Can anyone tell me a website that has a drawing of the whole classification tree (the animal classification tree)? Can anyone identify Bob Cant?
