It certainly is evergreen.

Result! I might never see another Morus alba 'venosa' but if I do I'll remember it. The eucalyptus is coccinifera. Here's the final one I have from Arduaine. I have one in my garden too, I liked it so much.
-
Nope.
-
Another caveat, these are the juvenile leaves! I am sure they are sufficiently different from other Eucalyptus that you should be able to nail them.
-
No that would have been too easy. This one is a good deal rarer, we have the Gulf Stream to thank for it surviving in the west of Scotland.
-
I found my american ident book and there are some odd cottonwoods in it that look promising.
-
One to ponder overnight
-
Bang on! An absolutely gorgeous tree.
-
Are the leaves unfurliung in those pictures? They certainly look like they are heading for Poplar. All my ID books are in my survey box in the car and it's too cold outside to go and get them. The vein form should be definitive.
-
It is not Beech.

......

I can't keep up... Sorry RobArb, we don't have the same tree at all. Yours is altogether wierd looking.
-
Determined to get a cut leaved alder, aren't you? NO that's not it. And the offer to eat my hat is withdrawn since there is only one common variety of T. dolabrata which you could guess without knowing anything about it.
-
T. dolabrata it is! Variety? Shall I pop out for some ketchup?i
-
Let's see if anyone else gets it, then you can see a fully provenanced label and your misery will be over. Not even willing to hazard a guess at Genus meantime?
-
Bark and foliage this time, if you get the variety I may have to eat my climbing helmet.
-
Oops, your correct Poplar guess came in while I was composing my last posting. Well done.
-
A tricky single leaf ident... from Arduaine again.
-
It may well have been beside a pond in the botanical garden. I think I will have to tell you what it is. I thought it was guessable but I would do as I knew the answer and saw (and heard) the whole tree.
-
You can have my copy for half that price. I'll deliver it personally anywhere in the world.
-
I agree with your observations but neither is correct. By the way, it's not something exotic.
-
It was just too high, and I only had the mobile phone camera. I am waiting for a Conservation Area notice to expire (6 weeks) before I go back there to take down the P. squamosus victim, if the brackets are still there I will get a better shot. Alas not likely to last that long. Fungi, that is, not me.
-
Sorry, I realise now the foliage pic is a poor one as it doesn't have the tips of leaves showing. Could be a A. davidii 'George Forrest' it has almost circular leaves. See if you can get this next one just from the bark and the whole-tree picture.
-
We got a call to look at fungi on a client's tree, turned out to be Polyporus squamosus. Then client said it was growing on his trailer too, parked nearby. We had a look, I think it is Pleurotus. Client made the trailer himself from GRP and aluminium and he swears there is no wood in it. So what are these doing here? The trailer is in regualr use out on the road. The fungus is getting pretty good spore dispersal, I reckon. Anyone got any other oddly located air-eating fungi pics to rival this for inexplicability?
-
The guy who labelled the Katsura even spelt Cercidiphyllum wrong, maybe wasn't very clued up on taxonomy either. The most recent addition isn't either of those two guesses. You are forgiven for not getting it right first time, I was surveying trees for the Council in Glasgow Botanics when I came acrooss a mature one of these and was an embarrassed and stubborn 1/2 an hour with ident books before I was comfortable with my ident, I didn't dare admit to the manager that i didn't know what it was. As ever, photo taken of lowest leaves and may be slightly unrepresentative. OK, here's the bark. Very young.
