Any ideas ??

[MattyF]

Did think this was some sort of elm but can’t find any thing that matches... any ideas as a be never come across it before.

In the picture that’s the overall tree structure I don’t think that would be true to what ever it is original form as it’s been topped to match a cypress hedge that was around it.

Thanks , mat.

Chilean beech?

[nepia]

My thought too though I hadn't heard the name Chilean Beech; Southern Beech is what I know - Nothofagus anyway.

[Stere]

Just what i'd heard it called though its seems unclear by googling it which beech species chilean beech refers to.

 

 

Nothofagus obliqua  i think

Nothofagus obliqua, commonly known as the Patagonian oak

Could it be Nothofagus antartica? (which is Chilean)

 

The leaf seems a bit small and rounded for obliqua, and antartica has that white spotting on the young twigs and branches.

Great query..

Looks remarkably like a Nothofagus mennziesii... or Silver Beech

Rather rare though
