Tree ID please! More photos added!

[swotty]

Help please .....probably being stupid but I'm damned if I can think what this tree/nut is......dementia seems to be setting in already !

 

[British Red]

Could be Common Alder?

 

[ozzy1977]

I know

 

[Harvestman]

It could be alder, but the leaves do seem to come to a point, which alder normally lacks. Alder was my first thought, but I'm not yet convinced. Does it have cones? Any fruit or seeds?

 

[British Red]

I agree I'm not sure either - seems a little too glossy to me as well ?

 

[swotty]

Just the young nuts in the PIC.......perhaps I'm not being as stupid as I thought ..,,that's a relief!

 

[Harvestman]

That's beech then.

 

[swotty]

I know

Go on then ......

 

[whats wrong with you all]

Isn't it Beech? Looks a whole lot like Beech to me. Leaves look right and the nuts look like Beech nuts.

I thought beech but it doesn't correspond with my tree book!

Could be a carp book I've got.....

Looks like beech to me....does it have little brown withered bits under some of the leaves where they come out of the branches ? That's the remains of the overwintering buds.
Kind of rounded looking leaves though; it can be hard to get everything in the photo for ID.

[HillBill]

Looks a bit wrong for a standard beech.

 

[dwardo]

Look on the floor for beech husks. After that alder, poplar, lime alder and hazel lol

 

[Kepis]

Looks like Beech to me, you can see the Beech mast on the branch.

Thats what I thought ? But I guess there are variants

Damn...looks as though I'm going to have to go up to the hills again Monday to take a few more pics and make further investigation Mary!
It is however reassuring that I was stumped....., could be a chance to try the new wood gas stove too..,

Thanks for all your help so far chaps.....

 

[Toddy]

Well, one must be thorough
I hope the weather's good for the day.

cheers,

We've got countless acres of Beechwoods hereabouts, and it sometimes seems to me that no two are the same; at a rough guess I'd say about one in five conforms to what's illustrated in most of the guides. If I was a betting man I'd lay good odds on that being Beech

 

[forest hermit]

It looks like European Beech - Fagus sylvatica var. 'Zlatia'
