We love our trees and saw this beautiful specimen today

Here’s the tree snd a leaf
Thankyou

Sweet chestnut?

That’s a beauty. Interestingly it is defeating my plant Id app which has come up with odd things when photo put in. App has always been spot on previously.

Soup dragon
Yes we thought it was sweet chestnut also
Although the leaves on the photo are ever so slightly different
But such a beautiful tree I had to take a photo of it
Thank you

I don't think it's a sweet chestnut, but not sure what it is.

Unusual sort of oak tree, I'd say.

I'm going with turkey oak

I think possibly turkey oak too visual-flora.org.uk/Fagaceae/Fagaceae.html#Quercus%20cerris
Deffo not sweet chestnut.
Can be a bit hard to tell by one leaf because they can vary. But the shape of the tree suggests turkey oak too.

Do you know the name of the churchyard that it's in? It's such a stunning tree that maybe if you search on the churchyard then someone local might have written an article about the history of the church/churchyard that happens to also mention the tree and what type it is.

Turkey Oak

As it is huge, have a look to see if it's here:

It’s the church of all saints helmsley
I think the map is great
I’m just rubbish at identifying where at is

This could well be the tree in the picture

This?
Fagus sylvatica 'Grandidentata'
Fern leaf beech?

@thesunshinesbright Ooh, yes, I think you've got it. I've never heard of it before, but what a stunning tree.

The leaf

I was going to suggest some kind of beech tree from the shape of the tree itself.

My plant app says turkey oak.

I'd say a variety of oak. The shape of the tree and pattern/colour of leaf quercus family.

Could it be a red oak?

Interesting. There's one of these trees in a park where I sometimes visit. I've been wondering what it is.

I've never heard of a fern leaves beech - it looks beautiful!

The shape of the tree in the OPs picture definitely looks beech-like.

OP are you near the tree? Could you have a look around under the canopy and see if you can find any 'fruit' -acorns or beech masts etc - that should help solve the matter!

The bark would help too.

It’s a beautiful tree what a shape! Some of the online images with multiple trunks are amazing. Never knowingly seen one - sure I have and not really looked at it. Now want a map of where the closest might be to me as I want to see in the flesh. A trip to Helmsley All Saints seems a bit far for me but the church looks really interesting also

Looks like a trip out Twickenham (Covid safe - can yo imagine in lockdown 1 if this was the reason for travel) is on the cards !
