Tree identification help

[DimeBar]

Hi

Can anybody suggest what type of tree this is please?

Sorry photo not great

DP tree surgeon says possibly a bay tree but hard to tell without a better pic

I thought bay too. What's the bark like?

Rub the leaves, a bay leaf is unmistakeable.

Thanks for responding.

Very surprised as Bay tree wasn't what I was expecting to hear, I thought it was going to be some kind of flowering/fruiting tree.

I shall go and smell the leaves tomorrow, if they don't have a 'bay' leaf smell I shall be back with better photos.

PRUNUS LAUROCERASUS ????

OP - take another picture, this time showing the whole tree so we can see the shape and size. I don't think that's a bay because it has fruit on it by the looks of things and the leaves are quite dark or shiny enough.

Is it not some sort of apple or medlar type thing?

It doesn't look like an apple tree to me - apple leaves are serrated.

Some kind of laurel, is it evergreen?

It could be a pear or quince.

It looks like a strawberry tree. Google images for it and see if it's the same.

If the fruits look like hairy, red/pink and spiky balls it could be that.

Oh wow, thanks for the responses.

I've taken some more photos. Sorry I took them before coming back to thread, so I don't have one of the whole tree.

Definitely not bay, as there is no smell to the leaves.

Could be a quince. I will google other suggestions

I don't think it is a strawberry tree, the leaves look a lot thinner than those pictured.

Medlar could be in the running too. Off to search more images.

Thank you all.

Plum or damson? I dont really know, but the leaves look like my plum tree from lidl. Or it could be a pear tree. I bought both sticks at the same time and have forgotten which is which.

Let us know when you know.

Hope it's something with perfectly edible fruit.
