Hi,
I came across an odd looking tree. Anyone have any ideas what it might be?
Thanks Dave   |

It looks like a Small leaved Lime....but I'm probably wrong!

I considered Whitebeam Gill - but the leaves don't look pale enough or quite the right texture.
Oh well, I'm sure a Tree expert will be along shortly!

Hi guys,looks like a linden tree to me.I've seen them in France but this one looks like an american strain. (I think these trees belong to the Tilia family)
All the best, |

Gill + Johnny have it. It is a form of Whitebeam. It does resemble Sorbus aria but there are various cultivars planted not to mention rare microspecies. |

We have very few Sorbus that make a tree of this size, and I suspect this is a planted non-native species, perhaps part of the Sorbus latifolia agg. group.
I have to say, I find this particular tree a lovey, light and open plant and I'd have it in my garden any time, if only I knew what it was!

Yes I was perhaps a little brave in going beyond Sorbus sp.!!! ha ha
It is a beautiful tree no doubt there!

Thanks everyone for your reply's.
I found this tree in a forestry commission woodland car park. It could well have been dumped there at some point.
If I were to go back and look at the tree again in a few weeks or months is there anything I should look out for that would pin down the ID.
Thanks again Dave. | | | |
