Another tree id

[farmer rod]

I found this tree on the boundary of our furthest wood, It has perhaps been part of a hedge. Can anyone please tell me what it is as I dont recognize it at all.

 

Just for clarification, the leaves are removed from the tree, and the poor photo of the trunk shown the form

Apple ?

Apple ?

 

It could be, the bark looks right, I dont remember seeing the bunch of leaves at the very end of a twig, there should be some sort of blossom/fruit, but the branch I selected was in deep shade. If it is apple then that means even more cider!!

I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna say hazel. Look at that top leaf. That's hazel. Rounded, pointed, serrated.

Thanks for the reply Adam

 

Hard get the texture in a picture, the leaves are smoother than hazel, and seem to appear in a bunch at the end of a twig, with the largest leaves at the end. The end of the twig grows upwards with the leaves arranged in a fan.

Still reckon it's an old crab.

 

Got a better pic of the twig?

I think its Malus.

May be Pillar Apple -tschonoskii based on leaf shape.
