Here Rob some easy ones for a man of your caliber

[RobArb]

First ones got me confused:confused1:

 

Is it a large leaved Fagus sylvatica cultivar like 'St George of Crete'????? of Fagus orientalis????

 

Second one is Morus nigra

[MATTMOSS]

nope, both wrong! to be honest they are not easy, I know they are not great pics but you have been excellent with the others.

I give some clues, first one - a chinese species with large white bracts that hang down giving it one of its common names.

Second one, a vigorous north american spp, a clue is "you might eat in it your salad"

(common name)

Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

[MATTMOSS]

[RobArb]

Cercidiphyllum japonicum, One of my faves:thumbup:

[RobArb]

DOH!

 

 

How did i not get them first time round?

 

To be honest that Davidia involucrata was a good post without showing the tell-tale fruit and flowers, i just glanced at the leaf without paying attention:biggrin:

 

And the other one looked beech like, hence the name Nyssa sylvatica

 

Nice one, two good posts:thumbup:

[MATTMOSS]

Your right with the Davidia involucrata, but the first one is a Magnolia, have a look at the cucumber tree. = Magnolia accuminata .
