A few trees to ID

[rupert w]

agree with robarb, one of the many snakebark maples.

[ScottF]

The spurs on the leaves are irregular and don't appear on every leaf, like Ailanthus and stuff. Might be Catalpa speciosa rather than C. bignonoides .

I'd agree that it's a Catalpa species, the elongated drip tip suggests the rather rarer Catalpa fargesii forma duclouxii Maybe? Does it have any flower trusses? Being in an arboretum it could be one of the more unusual Catalpas (ie non american species).

 

Also agree on the Acer davidii (or one of it's variants).

Tilia platyphyllos 'laciniata'

 

That's my guess

 

 

Here's a 'laciniata' from work earlier today.

normal leaves now coming up from the roots.

Thanks David. Are these very rare? Don't recall ever seeing one before in my 15 years in the trade.

Arboreta specimens from my experience.

Not quite sure how one ended up in the middle of the heath though

 

Is yours from a private or public arboretum ?
