Help with this tree ID please

[Nick Harrison]

I would def say a Lucombe, leaves look a dead ringer plus it's the area to find one of these trees...i studied at Bicton but can't picture the area you've described....Nobby Clarke is the head Arb lecturer down there, don't know if he floats about on this forum but he must know that place like the back of his hand, if it really eats away at you then i'm due to be down that way in a week or so and can try and look it up for you?

Have you also looked at the Fulham oak (Quercus x hispanica 'Fulhamensis')

Rob, there are Lucombe Oaks in oak avenue and they did not share the characteristics of this tree. However that is not to say that this isn't. It is starting to pain me so I will write to them and ask for the definitive. I tried to narrow it down to a tree with catkins (hence the currant galls) so looked at the Quercus canariensis as the leaf form is similar and also Quercus castaneifolia. I like your Fulham Oak suggestion but like I said it is time to talk to Bicton!

let us know when you know:thumbup:
