Help please in indentifying tree and pruning

Recommended Posts

Could someone please advise me as what this tree might be. Initally thought it may be an Elder, but not so sure now.

We moved here recently and are trying to indentify what is currently growing.

 

It has a large branch which collapsed yesterday, I have tied it back but not hopeful.

 

Not sure how to prune as it is a huge twisty branch and don't want to damage the tree. It is pretty high and don't think it has been pruned for some time.

 

Mant thanks

Your picture shows a grape vine. Is that what you meant? If so, you can prune it hard back to a main stem IN WINTER only, otherwise it will bleed lots of sap and catch all kinds of fungi.

Of course it is, how stupid am I:roll:

 

Thanks Womerry 2.

 

Will leave well alone until winter and also check up on Grapevines.
