These are the tall trees at the end of our garden. The one on the left ,that is just outside our boundary , is the Robinia Pseudoacacia or False Acacacia. This is a beautiful ornamental tree originating from the USA and comes into leaf very late.
The other trees are the Aylesbury Prune. Our house was built on an old orchard and these are the only remains. The trees are now very rare. There is a fine specimen in the garden of the county museum in Aylesbury near the Titley Memorial Fountain. They bear a small damson like fruit, but my trees produce very small quantities. They probably need "pruning".

Last week I noticed that the Robinia pseudoacacia was in flower. The bottom photo is as close as my camera will go to show the flower itself. There are close ups if you search the internet.
