Help identifying a tree in Winter

[Paul Cleaver]

I was going to say magnolia but the leaves are small

C'mon guys... Well I'm willing to stake my reputation on this one... Okay, I know I don't have a reputation but I'm hoping to gain one from this.. Hahaha..

 

It's Ailanthus altissima

 

A close-up of the buds would confirm.

 

Yocold be right. It goes along with the pinnate leaves and long residual petioles. Also has the false end buds that characterise A.a. Look for big leaf scars, like a love heart. Does it smell bad?

Hornbeam

[sigh!]

[Fredward]

Yeah definitely a Hornbeam, or.. is it a Macrocarpa?

 

 

But on a serious note.. one close up of the bud scar would confirm Ailanthus, is very distinctive.

Thanks for all the hints so far, guys! As it is the middle of winter here, there are unfortunately no buds to get a close-up of...

Oh, what's a bud scar? I can get a picture of that!

[RobArb]

Not bud scar. Leaf scar. Its the place on the twig where last year's leaf was before it fell off. The scar is what is left when it does fall off. The bundle scars are the little dimple type things on the leaf scar. Close up of that would be a real help
