Tree ID

[nickliv]

Growing amongst ash, beech, birch and sycamore in NE Scotland.

Didn't have the camera at the time so no pics of tree or berries.

Berries were green and hard, possibly as yet unripe. A bit like a big haw or rowanberry. Very pippy.

Leaves just on the turn.

Leaf smells kind of appley.

Any ideas?

Looks like an alder leaf to me.

Possibly whitebeam

I'd agree with whitebeam

Looks like an alder leaf to me.

Looks like it but Alder doesn't have berries, it's one of the few decidious trees that have a cone similar to conifers for its seeds.

I thought we were too far north for whitebeam. I'll take the dog out again. This time with a camera.

Whitebeams survive in a unique subspecies on Arran so I see no reason why they couldn't be where you are - they are often included in native tree and hedge mixes

yes all sounds like whitebeam to me, leaf a bit small but that's what you'd expect up North.

likely to be ''Whitebeam'', if so the berries should turn from green to red when ripe.

I'm leaving towards whitebeam too.

Thanks all

That's a whitebeam - no doubt in my mind at all

 

[Osprey]

Agree, whitebeam, and yes they do grow up here in Aberdeenshire!

 

[baggins]

Yup, Def a whitebeam. And yes, they do grow up your way. Granted, they won't grow as large as down south but i've seen them in Sweden as lovely specimens, and its even colder over there!!!

Is it a Whitebeam by any chance?

 

[bushwacker bob]

Is it a Whitebeam by any chance?

Either that or Sorbus latifolia

Im pretty sure there is a couple up where we camped at Haddo.
