Tree ID practice

No probably sanguinea

 

Nope, it's a Cornus, but it's most certainly one of the tree growing ones. Can get exceptionally big for a Cornus actually.

I think there are a few that can be grown suprisingly big.

 

But Ill go with Cornus mas

My first thought is Cornelian Cherry, which I think is Cornus mas

It's a cornus that has it's flowers in bunches, creamy white and not yellow. Also the leaf is larger than that of c.mas or c. officinalis (a larger version of aforementioned).

Cornus Controversa.

 

Nope, but getting closer - it's in the same subsection of Cornus as c.contraversa and is also known for getting 'giant'

So I guess it's not even a Controversa Brachipoda...

 

Always thought Controversa was the biggest amongst Dogwoods.

Last one then I give up...

 

Was thinking about C. Drummondii but leaves look just a little bit different...

 

I go with Cornus macrophylla .
