    I nearly said Sorbus thuringiaca but took a second look and realised that those where leaflets on a rachis not leaves on a stem which means its the Koelreuteria paniculata (I think thats how you spell it) Thanks Graham:thumbup:, you nearly got me then:biggrin:

    feel free to ask for anymore ID's and use my thread, tis all good practice:thumbup:

    Yep definatley Quercus ilex that first pic, the branch is a dead giveaway, new holly shoots tend to be a more "greeny" colour and less downy, and not silver under the leaf Nice tree, very heavy timber:thumbup:

    could also be Quercus ilex then, worth a thought then as armybloke states:thumbup: Bark is a dead giveaway between Q. ilex and Ilex sp. Better pictures of buds and bud arrangement will give me more info to work with to get a positive id:biggrin:
  8. RobArb
    Good call:thumbup: but is has been mentioned about berries which the Holm Oak does not have
  9. RobArb
    At the moment possible suspects could be Ilex dipyrena - Himalayan Holly Ilex x beanii - A cross between the Himalayan and our own native holly It could even be a Prunus caroliniana but i doubt it if you say its got berries like Holly
  10. RobArb
    its not ilex latifolia - Tarajo, the leaves aren't big enough A few questions What was the bark like? What are the buds like? What is the bud arrangement on the stem? Do the leaves give off a distinctive smell when crushed? Have you got any more pics or pics less blurry? I'll do my best to ID it for you:biggrin:

    Mmmmm struggling now Can I have a clue? Maybe the family it belongs to? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    That was easy, tis the flowers I'm struggling with. There are lots of newly planted wollemi's planted in ness gardens and I even have a picture of the sphreical fruit on the chomp at home, plus there's a biggish one at capel manor I remember seeing when down there earlier this year. I'm no stranger to the wollemi:thumbup: Now, back to the one I can't get..... Yet! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    You've got Wollemia nobilis Picea breweriana And argh..! I'm stuck on the flowery one:confused1: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    does that mean i'm dumped then? the go-to guy is no longer needed:001_tongue:
  18. RobArb
    I look forward to it:001_tt2:

    Technically (not one to be pedantic:lol:), but Crataegus persimilis 'Prunifolia' IS crataegus prunifolia splendens:001_tt2:
  20. RobArb
    First one i'm going to go with Crataegus persimilis 'Prunifolia' and the second is a pure guess with Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck Purple'

    As stated earlier Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  22. RobArb

  23. RobArb

  24. RobArb
    Last that last one was a bit tricky, don't think i would of got the pacific madrone at a guess, and would of took me a while in the books and on google ID:lol: Glad i got the others though:thumbup:

    Best one for price, what you are asking for and ease of use is the collins field guide by Owen johnson (2006) [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007207719?ie=UTF8&tag=thewootru-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0007207719]Collins Tree Guide: Amazon.co.uk: Owen Johnson: Books[/ame] But as janey states, you will end up buying them ALLLLLLL...!!
