    There is a cut leaved alder - Alnus Glutinosa 'Laciniata' with similar leaves.
  2. treerjb
    There is a variety Acer Negundo Californicum, at HHG, and Westonbirt. Leaf form slightly different to the more 'common' form.

    Maybe Amelanchier arborea
  4. treerjb
    I did suspect amelanchier, I will find out in the spring, looks like A.laevis by leaf shape. Many thanks
  5. treerjb
    Think youre right; thanks, not seen it in the 'tree' form before.
  6. treerjb
    Many thanks

    Many thanks.

    Looks very much like Quercus Ilex, but a strange appearance, plus young acorns in twos and threes from one stem. There are other similar trees listed in Alan Mitchell book, but no photos, Im assuming a form of Q Ilex.

    Young birch, has been yellow most of summer leaf shape different though.

    Looks like a sycamore, but leaves lower lobes more like Acer Rubrum. I know there are varieties of sycamore; so maybe one? A mature tree, 20m in height, trunk approaching 1m diameter approx.
  11. treerjb
    A bit like blackthorn, long spines, leaves approx 20mm in length. Fairly stout bole, though, unlike blackthorn. Tree about 5m in height, growing happily in shade from other trees and shrubs. Again, part of tree survey, so any help or advice really appreciated.

    Interesting one this, leaves bit like prunus, as is the bark. Fruit and long petioles definitely typical of Malus. Cant nail the exact specimen though. Fruit approx 10mm diameter
  13. treerjb
    Few more better photos including a clear one of the bark. Was also thinking maybe Sorbus Umbelleta but bark not right

    Looks like Roble to me; I have a young one in a pot in my garden
  15. treerjb
    A good explanation, thanks

    Many thanks, Im sure (4) is birch, may be sickly, I was thinking Downy Birch, I will check with council as it must be recently planted. I think the Ilex ID is spot on, wasnt in any of my usual reference books tho. ATB

    All photos in this post from one group of trees. Very spindly form, no low level leaves (all over my head) I will check alder buckthorn next time I visit. Many thanks
  18. treerjb
    Many thanks for comments Maybe 2 is Salix, Ill check again. No 1 has red berries, and thorns. No 3 also has berries earlier in season No 5 may well be holly but couldnt match the form to any in book,some of the leaves have no serrations or spikes at all and fairly thick and leathery.

    Ill keep an eye on colour as Ironwood normally turns nice reds in Autumn. First I thought it was a type of Amelchanier. No sign of flowers or fruit since I have been visiting them. Many thanks.

    These other five Im a bit stuck with.... what I think is listed below: Sorry for bad images, didn't have my decent camera. 1. Crataegus Persimilis. Inch long thorns on twigs, cant think of any other similar thorns. About 5m tall, slightly leaning, spreading crown. 2. Pyrus? Bark looks like it, an old tree, fairly large girth, looks too big for a Malus. No fruit yet. 3. Cotoneaster Frigidis Farily sure of this one, tree form, slender branches, spear like leaves, definitely not Salix. 4. Betula ...? Def a birch I think, a young tree, very small leaves. Colour seems to have been buttery yellow most of the summer. 5. Ligustrum? Maybe from elimination, does not seem to be a Holly, Magnolia, or Camelia. Trying to finish survey of over 200 trees before the leaves start moulting... Many thanks for any responses in advance.

    Been doing a voluntary survey for the local council in my spare time.7 A few IDs Im not sure on. This one is the one which Im most puzzled by: Spindly trees about 5-8m in height. The last photo is dried leaves that I tried to ID a few days ago. Many thanks for any help.
  22. treerjb
    Acer Triflorum is another possible trifoliate maple option. But bark does not look right.
  23. treerjb
    It may be Nikko Maple? Acer nikoense
  24. treerjb
    Not great with Elms, but spotted this tree recently in a garden next to a busy road. About 30m tall, suckering from base, large spreading crown. Leaf very rough and glossy on top, less rough and downy below. Largest length of leaf shown is 12cm length x 7cm across. The petiole length is circa 10mm to nearest lobe. I dont think it can be Wych or English, due to leaf shape, petiole size, and leaf not covering the stalk. Not like any of the Brighton Elms, apart from Wych (similar). Maybe Dutch Elm or a Hybrid Elm, such as 'Lobel'? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions. I may be able to get a photo of the tree next few days.

    There are several Laburnum nearby. This weekend I shall try and cut down all the overgrowth and maybe take a few measurements. Trunk looked so much like a Willow, but completely different species. Fabacacae according to Owen Johnson book. Many thanks ot all
