Basic Tree ID Needed

[mrwillwhitehead]

Hello, I'm a beginner trying to learn plant species.

After walking through my local woods, there are a few plants I can't identify with the book. Any suggestions on the following would be greatly appreciated:

A.

(White poplar?)

B.

C.

D.

(Spindle?)

E.

F.

G.

(Sweet Chestnut?)

Hi Mate and welcome to the Forum,
it's great that you are out there learning new things, this place is a mine of information.
as to your pics;
A: looks like Black Poplar to me
B: Privit
C: I could be mistaken here but i'm thinking Whitebeam as is F, just different ages of tree
D: not really a clear enough pic, but not spindle, looks more like rosebay willow herb but a wider shot may help.
E: Ivy
F: Whitebeam again
G: yup, it's HorseChestnut

Hope this helps.
Also, if you are interested in gathering a library, i can give you a list of some very good books, most of ours we got secondhand from Amazon and Evilbay.
Good luck

D is buddliea
G doesn't look right for sweet chestnut and definitely isn't horse chestnut

A is Poplar, either White Poplar, or Grey Poplar which is a hybrid of White Poplar and Aspen. I think yours looks like WHite Poplar.
B Privet
C Whitebeam
D Buddleja/Buddleia
E Ivy
F Whitebeam (but probably a non-wild variety)
G is definitely sweet chestnut. Nothing else it can be.

Doh! i meant Sweet Chestnut. just been working on a horse chestnut today so had moment of going slightly conkers!

Cheers guys, I really appreciate your help on this! I remember G being really waxy and tough; it was planted on a roadside with lots of other non-native trees.

Baggins, thank you for the warm welcome! I'd love to know your top picks for books. I've heard Collins Complete Guide to British Trees is pretty good.

Ps. I too agree on the name 'evilbay'

I recommend you download an app called Tree ID. It comes on android. It covers many species with lots of pictures and information.
