Tree ID?

[caliban]

Hello, would anyone be kind enough to have a stab at identifying the trees that these leafs belong to? The one with the berry (might be an immature berry) has attractive bark with lots of horizontal slashes (lenticels?). Thanks if you can help.

2 sycamore a nice easy one.

Is this a recent picutre? All of the cherries up here have either been eaten (mostly by me) or are black and the other side of ripe.
Are the seasons that far behind up there?

You wouldn't eat the ones we get growing wild round here. We call them bird cherries as they are the only thing that will eat them, they are so bitter and dry the inside of your mouth like Sloe berries.

Prunus avium - Bird cherry.

Been a very good year for cherries, I've eaten loads.

It's a bit more complicated than that Prunus avium is wild cherry or gean, Prunus padus is bird cherry and is not common nationally but common wild in Derbyshire.

Ignore wikipedia entries which are wrong, this is better http://www.2020site.org/trees/cherry.html

This is a great book, it just fits nicely in your pocket, so you can take it anywhere.
