We weren't weeding and smoking when we spotted this tree obscuring a favourable view of a mountain range.

  • Maybe a fagus sylvatica 'fagiata' or at least it's spelt something like that. But then it kind of looks like it could be a bit sorbus related.
  • Looks very Cherry-ish to me.

    Sorbus I agree it looks similar but I thought most sorbus leaves grew out opposite one another which wouldn't fit.

    Bark does look cherry like so that's a possibility

    I will throw Sweet Chestnut into the mix....though if this is the same tree as the taller ones behind it (too hard to tell) then that would rule that out
  • Ash behind, a Beech and a Lime to the right.

    Not sweet Chestnut. or at least not Castanea sativa...leaves too small, although individually similar.

    Just don't think it's a Cherry.

    Not a Fagus sylvatica, (fastigiata I guess you meant) but hold onto that thought, possibly!

    Sorbus...not any one that I know.

    No noticeable blossom that I recall and no fruits showing


     


     

  • Prunus avium would be my guess, or some similar species judging by the bark and foliage?

  • Looks like a bog-standard, self-seeded wild cherry to me as well?

  • Has to be a cherry, from the shape of the leaves, bark and branch lay out.
