What tree is this

[Steve Bullman]

A shot of the branch structure will help

Wild swing in the Dark but i'm gonna say Cherry. Just by going off the bark markings and basal flares.

I am new to this forum and just learning my trees. I am stuck on this one though. It is about 30 mts tall, shapped a bit like an elm, kind of silver birch bark at the bottom, but as you go up the tree it has rings around it close together and the rings are like ridges (positive). The foliage you can see is nothing to do with this tree, it is bare. Can anyone help.

 

I am down in south devon near the coast if that helps and the tree is in a wood that is occupied with beach and elm mainly

 

I would say aspen by the colour and markings of the bark,but 30m? What diameter is the stem?

cherry all day long

I thought Cherry but i will go with Aspen.

 

Doesn't look like a 30m tree to me though!

[RobArb]

That's a 30ft Cherry

I first thought cherry with the ripples, then I looked at the other stem and lower on the trunk was more white in colour.

Going by the coppice in the back ground we may have height issue

Prunus padus

 

My guess.

I would go with a cherry, maybe an asian type. Distinctive horizontal markings. Cherries peel horizontally, also are the spots horizontal?
