I thank you folks, for this topic and ID!  I came across this tree in =
Victoria Park, in Truro, and was puzzled about its identity (leaves like =
a white ash but the cluster of green fruit created the puzzle). Today, =
you have removed the mystery. Thanks

My wife and I were involved in a workshop session at the park Aug 27, =
and were attracted to the very nice patch of solar, pin-hole images =
under the tree (produced by the sun shining through the leaves spaces) =
located near the brook of the first bridge, not far from the entrance, =
main parking area.  I can share the photo I took at this link.
