A bunch of these are planted throughout my suburb. Would these make a good choice for a feature tree in a small backyard? Located in Townsville, QLD.
Thanks!

Looks like an ash maybe? Hard to tell without close up of leaf, bark and fruit/seeds
Looks like Fraxinus griffithii, Himalayan Ash. But a closer look at the leaves would help.
They grow up to 12m. Pretty fast growth rate, and can be pruned to stay smaller. Not bad for a small to medium backyard. They provide lots of shade.
Flowering ash
I’m guessing Fraxinus spp. ?
FYI your council should have a list of their planting species if it is a street/park/reserve tree they’ve planted.
