species ID required please.


Recommended Posts

hi all i've been sent these photos of a tree that although i'm sure is in the Prunus genus i'm not sure what species as i've never seen a leaf like it before.

 

the pictures of the wood tell me that it is possibly one of the cherry plumbs as the green line between the heartwood and sap is indicative of that sort of species.

 

any help appreciated.

You're usually the one identifying wood for everyone else...somethings clearly amiss

wel the wood is clearly a prunus and i suspected the plum as soon as a saw he green line but that leaf really threw me.

 

he says he'll get photos of the tree and the leaves asap so we'll see if he's got mixed up with the leaves.

 

it could be an odd species that we are not used to that has been planted on our shores...
