what tree is this?

[jrose]

Hi all,

 

An old uni housemate of mine who is now an architect has asked me if I can identify this tree for him, and I'm not too sure. Anyone got any ideas? He's emailed through the pics, which is all I have to work with - I'm 200 miles plus away from the actual tree!

 

cheers,

Joe

I think you've found someone worse at taking pics than me

 

It's some sort of apple.

cheers, I'd guessed some fruit tree but hadn't got as close as apple!

Walnut?

Ask him to crack open that fruit/nutlet, my pound is on walnut

How'd you want to pay me my pound?

 

Walnuts have pinnate leaves and the fruit are on very short pedicles (stems)..

I'm with Janey, it's an apple of some sort. Afaik walnuts don't have a "tufty" bit (at the bottom of the fruit)like apples, these fruits do have tufty bottoms.

thanks all, hopefully he will crack open a fruit/nut and get a pic tomorrow!
