This is a Japanese Pagoda Tree (Sophora Japonica) in the garden of 205 Exwick Road, and possibly the largest in England. An article in the local paper (The Express & Echo) in September 26th 1998 quoted Michael Hickson of the National Trust's plant conservation programme as saying "It might be the largest in England. The one in the record book is in Syon Park in London but I think this one is bigger." It usually flowers in September.
