Does anyone know what tree this is?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone could tell be what tree this is? The bark just seems such an unusual colour.

Many thanks,

Vicky

It looks like one of the snakebark maples - most common ones I see are Acer, rufinerve, capillipes, or davidii. Most often see Acer davidii, so it may be that, it has variable lobing on the leaves.

That would be my (educated ) guess too...but are the leaves arranged 'alternate' as I thought Acer were opposite.

Leaf doesn't look serrated/toothy/ridged enough for hornbeam to me, I'd go for Acer davidii or similar but the leaves do look alternate.

 

any more close ups of anything ?
