You're doing well... you've got 3 so far

I'll give another clue... 6 of the barks have been correctly identified, just not all of them by the same person

 

[Mad Mike]

1 Oak
2 Birch
3 Lime
4 Ash
5 Willow
6 Hazel
7 Aspen
8 Hornbeam
9 sycamore
10 Chestnut

Are the pictures all from the same distance?

 

[Dunx]

Lets have a guess then...

1 elder
2 chestnut
3 hawthorne
4 holly
5 goat willow
6 ash
7 elder
8 cherry
9 sycamore
10 elm

 

[Mesquite]

Mad Mike - you correctly identified 1

Dunx - you correctly identified 3

Oh... and all for all those that have asked the pictures were taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 Lumix on macro setting and were all approximately 24" away from the subject trees.

They were then edited using MS Paint and uploaded to Photobucket on a 320x240 setting

And just to say that 8 out of the 10 trees have now been correctly identified

 

[Dunx]

1 hazel
2 blackthorn
3 ash
4 holly
5 goat willow
6 cherry
7 alder
8 hornbeam
9 sycamore
10 elm

 

[Mesquite]

[daveO]

1 ash
2 blackthorn
3 hawthorn
4 holly
5 goat willow
6 hornbeam
7 laburnum
8 Field Maple
9 sycamore
10 elm

 

[Mesquite]

DaveO - You've correctly identified 5

It's starting to narrow down now

 

[shaggystu]

It's like that old board game "Mastermind" isn't it?.....

Although this version's distinctly lacking in exotic looking ladies

 

[daveO]

DaveO - You've correctly identified 5

It's starting to narrow down now

I can't walk past a tree now without thinking something like 'does that look a bit like number 6?'

 

[Dunx]

1 cherry
2 blackthorn
3 sycamore
4 holly
5 goat willow
6 hornbeam
7 hazel
8 birch
