Title: 8 trees - any ideas?
Post by: gurgling_mrd on July 10, 2018, 08:14:44 AM

There are 8 distinct trees near me, and I'd love to know what they are.

Can anyone help with these ones? I've attached pictures of the leaves.

Number 1:

Number 2; in the spring, this has the most beautiful pink blossom:

You need to post your location to help.
1 and 4 look the same. No idea.
3 I'd say black locust.
7 looks like it could be big tooth aspen.
Others no idea.
Interested.

Here is my take:

1. A birch
2. Some type of fruit tree, not sure which.
3. Black locust
4. Another birch
5. Sugar Maple
6. ?
7. Bigtooth aspen
8. I agree with apple

I'm guessing a Rhododendron for #6 since it seems still undefined.

#6 looks like a Camellia to me.

I should probably have stated: I'm in North Yorkshire, England.

Thanks for your inputs so far - really interesting! How possible is it that number 2 is a cherry blossom?

#2 does look a lot like Prunus Avium which is a common ornamental cherry, with some fancy flowering blossom versions.

I am with Ian on #2. Most likely sweet cherry.

I'm still wondering why #5 is not an oak. Lobes don't look to me much like any maple I am familiar with.

Yes, #2 looks like our wild sweet cherry we call Blackheart cherry. Tasty but small. Wood not as dark as wild Black cherry.

#5 looks to me like field maple Acer campestre

#2 kanzan cherry does it have a mostly smooth gray/silver bark ?

Howard, the venation in maple is palmate while in oaks, it is pinnate. The venation of the leaf in the pic is palmate (radiating out from a central point).
