What tree is this, please ?

[RogerS]

It's the one centre-frame




It's right where LOML needs to put her Orangerie. If it was something like an oak then we'd not even be considering it but neither of us know what this tree is.

 

[Rod]

Orangerie - I hope you are not hoping to produce oranges?
I saw a programme about a stately home somewhere around Cheshire whose owner built one - but they never grew as the days are too short at that latitude.

Rod

 

[RogerS]

Not at all! Just LOML's description for her gardening emporium.

 

[Mike G]

Don't know the tree, sorry. I'm pretty sure it isn't an orangery unless it is attached to a house.

 

[AndyP]

No expert but have a close look at hazel.

I will cough to being on gardeners world forum - there are usually hundreds of old dears waiting to help with this sort of thing - do you want me to ask?

Yes please, Dan.

Andy...I don't recall seeing any catkins or red female flowers

 

[Malc2098]

How about a lilac?

 

[Rod]

Not Hazel
You need to show leaf in bud, full sized leaf etc
I used an app called "smartPlant" to identify a plant I had growing in my garden. They send it off to their experts.

Mike this Orangery was separate from the house and built in 17C or 18C (cannot remember) when the very rich tried to outdo each other by growing exotic fruit. Although heated, the Orangery never produced ripened oranges because of a lack of adequate sunlight throughout the year. It's altitude of 800ft also didn't help.

Roger - The old dears recon Poplar - but they are currently toing and froing about white or black poplar...will update when they have settled themselves down for the evening - probably about 20.30!

I'd wondered about poplar based on the shape of the tree but rejected as poplar leaves online seemed to be smooth edged all round and these are not. There are also very glossy which seems unusual

The leaf looks a bit birch like but the bark is wrong......

[Woodster]

I thought it looked like a birch as well. Maybe it's one of these?

[RogerS]

Mmm.poplar. Not White Poplar from what I can see but the Forestry Commission say that Black Poplar is very much endangered which gives us a problem if it is.

LOL... I'll let you do the honours! Seriously, the trouble I find with Google images is that the indexing is woefully wrong for most of the time. You can put in a search term for, say, oak and after a few photographs, you'll get an image for a fir tree!

This is from my Collins Field Guide

[RogerS]

So, so hard.

Is it my imagination or are my leaves more rounded on the serrations down the edge ?



and the tree looks the wrong shape as well as having several trunks.

 

[RogerS]

I think it's a lime tree.

 

[Rod]

Park your car underneath it in summer - if it gets covered in sticky stuff, it's a lime! [emoji3]

Rod

 

[AndyP]

I think it's a lime tree.

I think you should wait for it to fruit. :lol:
