[Glydr]

Great Thread, my knowledge of trees is severely lacking, was glad to finally confirm that 14 was sycamore seedlings. My garden has become invaded by the things! They are rapidly getting out of hand

 

[_scorpio_]

hmmm.. i disagree on 14 and say ash

 

[hertsboy]

No, scorpio - that ain't ash - definitely sycamore. Good to question it though!
