I'm guessing that I'm not alone with problems identifying some trees. We learn to recognise the various leaf shapes only to get completely stumped by the bark of a leafless tree - whether seasonal or dead. Added to this is that the bark and 'appearance' of a tree can change greatly during its life.
Although it's only my opinion, I consider these two pages to be really good for taking identification right back to the bare bones.

Both of these pages come from this Publications and Resources page of this website: http://coedlleol.org.uk/index.htm
No connection to site etc.
