gold finch?

Don't know why it didn't embed first time? [ame] [/ame]

gonna take some time out once uni is finished in May and see as many arboretums and botanical gardens as i can, so no doubt i'll hopefully come across this at some point:thumbup:

There's one near me, but not as big, lovely tree:thumbup: (and very distinctive bark:lol:)

Maybe i'm confusing it with may, thought there was one bank holiday at the start of august and one at the end, or is that may?

I'm gonna go Pterocarya then? P. fraxinifolia?

Think i'm going to Edinburgh camping with the family from the 27th July ish, so if you go the first august bank holiday i should already be up there

With bark like that it could only be Salix, couldn't it? S. fragilis or S. alba, i'll go with Salix alba

I give you, the "Roundover":biggrin: I do this every year to this (my dads) Euc, and every year it comes back for more:thumbup: Enjoy (hopefully:lol:) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

People come and go, trees get reduced and live, life just happens:biggrin: Keep up the good work... EVERYBODY:thumbup: Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Bit of info on the woodland Its used as an amenity/recreational woodland, a lot of dog walkers use it and famillies on walks i have noticed. Vicarage lane on a weekend is always full of parked cars, the pavement adjacent to the woods rarely gets used from passers by but i would be guessing on exact figures, same on traffic, just waiting as Acer:biggrin:

Thanks Acer, i shall have a go at this later:thumbup:
