mystery tree in windsor

[se7enthdevil]

started using the bus recently and i pass a tree that i am unfamiliar with and would like someone to put me out of my misery.

 

 

it has catkins that were purple to start with and what i thought were berries at the ends of some branches. i presumed it was in the alnus genus but am unfamiliar with these trees so don't know what species it is.

 

can any one identify it from this image.

it has quite a rough bark and i thought alders were smooth.

Alder ?

Never mind the tree, how come when you move the iPad around you change where you look, rather then pressing arrows on my google street view?

 

burn the witch!

what genus would you attribute it to then???

 

i can't get a pic myself at the moment as the bus does not stop there, that's why i went to google street view.

[se7enthdevil]

could it be a hop hornbeam???

Ostrya carpinifolia
