Thread: Tree ID please

    Tree ID please

    Hey guys,

    Can anyone advise what tree this is?





    I believe it to be a fallen Alder but as ever with tree identification, I'm not entirely sure!

    Thanks,

    Despite the leaves not being the standard drooping ensemble we are used to seeing from the Willow?

    Stupid me. What species of Willow, Ichneumon?

    Looks like Goat Willow aka Sallow aka Pussy Willow.

    Hmm, looking at the trunk I was going to say Black Poplar.
    What kind of habitat and, more importantly, do you have any pictures of the leaves?

    After a little research this morning, I was heading in the direction of a poplar. The leaves don't look like a Willow having seen them in person. I will go back tomorrow and take a closer picture of the leaves.

    The habitat was sat back from a canal in a small thinned out forest

    Thanks guys!

    The Black Poplar would be OK with a bit of damp ground.
    Hard to say without a good picture of the leaves.

    After heading back and foraging some more timber, I took some pictures of the leaves. Hopefully this will help in discovering the species of the beautiful thing!



    Ideas?

    I still say it's a Willow.
