| We are about to move into this house in Melbourne. As we are from Darwin, NT I am totally unfamiliar with temperate plants and would love someone to ID the tree in the left of the picture and find out if it's deciduous!
Thank you!

| Can you get a close-up of the leaves? There's not enough detail visible to make an identification there.

| Interesting, I see it as one of the Koelreuterias, which are common around here.
The few Melias I have seen (they are not common around here) have been very dense, like that picture, but somehow have a different look. |

| Could also be Koelreuteria but it would be a compact crown for it. As Resin mentioned, a close-up would ensure a proper ID. |
