Right OK, thanks Kev. Ill take another look, but my feeling is still its a Prunus as it has lateral, and quite long, lenticels. I think you can see them a bit better in this image, which also shows the buds a little more in focus. What do you think?

 

Well the buds look opposite to me so that rules alot out including cherry and birch, I'm still with Acer griseum and am a bit surprised only 1 other agrees tbh.

Definitely looks like opposite buds, ergo not Prunus or Betula. griseum seems like a good shout.

Well, it looks like I will have to go with the majority decision on that one then... Acer it is!

 

I've looked through 3 books and various on-line resources trying to bottom that one out and I cant find a satisfactory answer in those resources. There just doesn't seem to be a like for like image.

 

Just while Im on this train of thought - does anyone know of any winter bud ID keys that can be accessed readily? They would certainly help if this crops up again...

Collins Tree Guide has a useful winter shoot i.d selection, Collins Tree Guide, Owen Johnson and David More. 2004 ISBN 0-00-713954-3 Its the updated version of the late Alan Mitchells Guide to Trees of Britian and Northern Europe and also has good keys for conifers etc
