Update: OK, so I should have ran these by The Dragon before posting, because as per usual, he has a pretty good guess: Euonymus europea, the spindle tree. See image, below, that I took at Klyn Nurseries in '04 (now that was a trip).
By the way the tree in question lives at Lana's The Little House, Forestville. Have a cup of tea and check it out. We'll be profiling the Little House's garden in the next (July-August) UGJ.

Euonymus sieboldianus - Spindle Tree
I think. I have one growing along the lane to my farm. Really a nice shaped tree. Funny it has those pretty seed pods but the flowers go unnoticed. Anyway, I think it's a member of the bittersweet family which it kind of resembles.
WOW you are good! Yup, they are the same family, Celastraceae. I'm impressed.
Damn. I was hoping I'd get it first and win a trip to Scotland or something!
