Re: Name this plant
Although there’s a similarity between this flower and a fuchsia, it’s definitely not the same

Looks exactly like this fuschia many different varieties.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and input . A mate in Far North Queensland who is a bit knowledgeable on tropical plants came back with this.

Willow, tit-willow...
My neighbours insist that this tree is a willow, but I'm not convinced. I realise there are many different varieties, but this just doesn't look... well... droopy enough! It's not a great photo, but can anyone advise?

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
It certainly doesn't resemble the 'google images'. Apparently, willows are not only 'Weeping Willows' so because it doesn't droop does not mean it's not a willow.
If you're really interested, you could watch:

^^ Thanks Tel, I watched the first minute or so, but I really didn't feel I could manage the next 16... however badly I wanted to know the answer!

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
Like you, I watched a minute and I couldn't be bothered, or care, if it's a willow or not!

Dindn't go through the video - Could well be a Willow, but it's certainly not a "Weeping Willow" that I'm guessing DM's "droopiness" is all about (well aside from age obviously)....

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
One of the problems is that it’s still too early in the season for the tree to take up its final shape - give it a month or two and post another photo!!

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
The tree in the original picture doesn't have the usual bark, growth and shape pattern of the type of willow trees that were all used to seeing but, it could be a different species.
in the US, as far as I know, willow trees don't grow outside of the hot, humid, South and if that's a condition for willow tree growth, it's unlikely that the tree in question is a willow. But, then again,....................

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
Leaves can help identify tree types. Can you pick one and take a pic!

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
As I mentioned above, the tree is just coming out of hibernation from the winter, so the leaves are not yet fully developed - in a month or so, you’ll have a much better chance of identifying the species

Re: Willow, tit-willow...
It turns out we have an expert in the family (my nephew), who made the same request. I had no idea I'd have to work so hard... <sigh>
