Tree Ident

[British Red]

Well since you clever people all managed to sort out the "bizarre berry" can you help me out with this one?

This tree has leaves with a silver sheen. The fruit are small, very apple like, but sized a little large than a marrow fat pea (thats as big as they get). I toyed with whitebeam as an identification but the fruit don't seem quite right

Anyone?

TIA

My first thoughts would be whitebeam as well.......the fruits look like any other whitebeam i've seen (theres one right outside my front window) what would give it away would be a white felt underside to the leaves.

Yep,

Whitebeam it is. Its in a very shady hedgerow which probably explains why the fruit don't ripen

(was out further than normal today - saw some stunning Hornbeams I managed to photograph for my reference shots...and a lovely cedar....and a sea buckthorn of all weird species,,that's right up there with finding a Tulip tree!)

Really should do something with all those piccs sometime,,,not sure what though...theres plenty of good tree identification shots around

Thanks mate

Hmmmm......how about a photobucket album to share with us.......I've got loads of books for tree I/D but there are times when I'd always like another opinion..

Falcon,

Not a bad idea actually...Could try that...I usually use imageshack (just because its the first I found). I hear photobucket is good though...reckon people would find these sorts of shot useful? (I took these two today)

I'm rubbish at fir varieties, so I guess it might force me to try harder! It would also give me a chance to ask for help from the more knowledgeable ones...hmmmm can almost feel a thread of "positive IDs" and a thread of "anyone help with"
