Leaves for I.D

[PMM123]

Hi,

The following leaves are from a local woodland which I often walk through. I often wonder what species the trees are so would be grateful if anyone could enlighten me!

The leaf in image one seems to make up most of the trees in the woodland.
Image 3 Oak? These trees look quite old but are short, not how I imagine an oak tree.
The leaf in image 6 comes from a very boggy area next to a lake so I assume the trees are willow.

1 Acer is Sycamore
4 looks like Common Lime to me
5 Beech

Agree with these:

1. Sycamore
2. Don't know. more info required.
3. Oak. Petiole (stalk) looks relatively long, so bit hard to say which one.
4. Lime (most likely Common)
5. Beech. Looks like a weevil has mined this one. I can just make out a little brown line on the RHS of the leaf starting near the midrib and going to the edge.
6. Willow, relatively long-leaved, so most likely Crack.

thanks everyone, if you look at the second link in the original post there is a number 7 too

[PMM123]

anyone number 7?

[treecreeper]

No. 7 looks like Hornbeam...but it's missing a petiole

[poschiavanus]

I'd suggest Hazel as a possibility for 7. I think its too broad and lobed for Hornbeam.

1 Sycamore
2 Cherry?
3 Oak - probably Pedunculate
4 Lime - probably Large-leaved
5 Beech
6 Crack Willow
7 Elm-probably English

Cheers,

Thanks guys very interesting.

From your answers the larger of my two local woods seems to be mostly made up of Sycamore (am I right in thinking these don't support very much wildlife compared to other trees), there are also a good number of Hazel, with the odd other species here and there.

The smaller of the woods seems to have three distinct parts, one end seems to have a majority of big old hazels, younger sycamore centre, and oaks at the other (this seems to be the oldest part of the wood and definitely holds alot more wildlife.

I have one more image of unidentified leaves. This this from a young woodland that a farmer planted about 10-15 years ago in one of his fields. 9,10 and 11 all looked more like garden trees to me, I've never seen them in the wild before. Could anyone enligthen me?
