What is this tree?

Hi. I am hoping someone can tell me the name of the tree in the pics. Thanks in advance.

The difficulty factor here is pretty high. So, are you in Fairbanks, or Timbuktu?

Hiya @Loulou22 , and welcome to the forums.

I think your tree could be a Mop top Robinia .... pseudoacacia 'umbraculifera' It's rather handsome that's for sure....

I think it's fairly clear where our new member is from..... I recognised the Australian flag quite quickly!!!!

Yes @Tjohn - that is another name for the Mop top Robinia .... pseudoacacia 'umbraculifera'

I cannot see the flags on my phone mobile site.

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

I concur. The plant pictured in the OP is Mop Top Robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Umbraculifera'). It is a densely branched sport of the Black Locust (R. pseudoacacia) native to eastern North America. This cultivar rarely flowers and some pruning may be necessary to achieve a perfectly round crown. Most cultivated specimens are grafted onto a standard trunk. The cultivar epithet is sometimes given as 'Mop Top', but 'Umbraculifera' has priority.
