Can’t figure this one out.

This might be easy but I’m not the best at tree idents...

 

I’ve suddenly came across loads in one area.

Swedish Whitebeam

Sorry, type of Whitebeam not quite Swedish I don't think maybe sorbus lutescens

[JonnyRFT]

Cheers @OakStag. My initial thought was some kind of Whitebeam but for how hairy it is...that what threw me off.

Another one I can’t figure out. The bark is similar to a poplar.

 

Anybody know this?

That's coz it is a poplar. Populus alba, white poplar.

What, is this descending into the Facebook version of Arbatalk?

 

It's Sorbus aria, Whitebeam. It's probably called Whitebeam because it's white and the early english word for tree is 'beam' c.w. current german 'Baum' = tree, and the word for horizontal wooden structural members in buildings = beam. 

 

And yes I am a pompous word/tree snob. But doesn't make me wrong. I just cling on involuntarily to ways of remebering things.

 

And Oakstag, the Lutescens I think is a cultivar of Whitebeam, and when you see a confrimed one it's quite gobsmacking how big and White the leaves are. Doesn't Collins Tree Guide describe them as like paper plates left behind after a picnic?

Thanks for that; hadn't made that connection before.

I have an odd head; I rely very heavily on n'monix.

Jules @JonnyRFT posted two pictures on different posts in this thread, the first was almost certainly S aria lutescens the second picture was a white poplar leaf as  commented by @janey
