Tree id plese-@meredintofpandiculation?

I need some tree ids please! Trying my best with an app but very variable answers.
It's for a school project! 😁
Any help from anyone would be gratefully received.

Hornbeam or possibly beech ( hornbeam has more notable ribs) hard to tell on pic
lime
hornbeam/beech
prunus
maple red maple of some sort

Highlyflavouredgravy · 16/05/2023 05:45

The one you say is hornbeam feels very fuzzy...does that help?

The heart shaped leaf looks like lime to me, the one that drops sticky sap everywhere in the summer.

MereDintofPandiculation · 16/05/2023 11:07
  1. Possibly hornbeam, I’m not overly familiar with it. Definitely not beech.
  2. Lime, though which of the several species I don’t know
  3. I presume this is 1 again
  4. Malus (apple) I think, rather than Prunus (cherry). Cherry has more serrated edges
  5. Norway maple (L) and I think a red leaved Norway maple. But @yamadori will be able to tell you
MereDintofPandiculation · 16/05/2023 11:27

Did you get 1 off a tree or a shrub? With the furriness, I’m wondering about a Viburnum

wheresmyshoe · 16/05/2023 11:37

1 could be Elm or Wych Elm if it's big and rough hairy

It's not rough, it's almost velvety feeling.
Thanm you all!

No 1 is not hornbeam, their leaves are more corrugated, like an unfurled fan.

The textbook I need has gone AWOL, so I'll try and come back later.

IcakethereforeIam · 16/05/2023 16:33

Could the first one be whitebeam, Sorbus aria? It would have had flowers, although likely have gone over by now.

No, not elm or Wych elm - a characteristic of elm/wych elm is that the leaf is markedly asymmetric at the base. OP’s has no sign of this asymmetry

I wondered, but it’s way too small

crabbyoldappletree · 16/05/2023 20:47

I'm not expert but I'd go with

  1. lime 2)looks like a mulberry
  2. looks like Ash, but size indication would be useful
  3. copper beech
  4. plane tree
  5. no idea!
PinkRobotDuck · 18/05/2023 05:49

Elm leaves are sort of rough Surfaced and not as soft and flexible as eg beech

Very true. And the asymmetrical base is a dead give away

The only one which looks vaguely like mulberry is the lime, so are you giving mulberry as an alternative possibility for the lime? I see where you’re coming from. In life, lime is a thinner more delicate leaf than mulberry, and this means they stay flat, not slightly crumpled as in the photo. The juvenile (unlobed) leaf of mulberry is not usually notably cordate (heartshaped). And the vein pattern is different.

Ash has compound leaves, each leaf being made up of several leaflets.

plane tree leaves are similar to maple. I’m not sure why i’m saying maple for the last two. Size partly (assuming the handwriting is normal size) and the greater softness of the leaf. And the similarity between the last two - I’m not aware of there being a red leaved plane.

1 is Viburnum x burkwoodii I think.

Could be. Would be useful to know whether the leaves were opposite or alternate

Yamadori · 20/05/2023 13:13

Coming back to the thread belatedly and without the benefit of my reference book - my memory isn't what it was, and I look at things and go: Ooh, yes, that's a.... wait a minute, a.... ooh er... nope, it's gone!

Whitebeam
Large-leaved lime
probably a red crab apple
London plane
Red sycamore

@Highlyflavouredgravy did your dc get given these at school, or did they go out and collect them?

MereDintofPandiculation · 21/05/2023 10:41

@Yamadori Are you totally sure about red sycamore? When I google, it tells me red sycamore is a variety of Acer pseudoplatanus, and that really doesn’t look like a sycamore leaf to me.

I agree no 1 looks dead right for whitebeam except isn’t it a little small?
