J3mbo:

I don't think it's a triffid 'cos it might have eaten me before now. I'm not brilliant at guessing heights, but the top is way above my rooftop which is at approximately 30ft and, quite honestly, I don't really know when it started to grow as I only noticed it a few years ago.

Thank you Peter and Ian. I've looked at photos of Elder trees as suggested which, when in leaf, are very bushy, but this is spindly all the way to the top and the trunk is definitely much thinner and looks more fragile.

Ah well. I dunno. I might have my gardener chop it down next time he comes as it's a bit intrusive in that it's overshadowing one of my Buddleia's. If I ever find out what it is, I'll come back to let you know.

Thanks guys.
