holly Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) can anyone identify what type of tree this is from the photos ? Edited February 15, 2014 by holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcock11 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Difficult to be 100% certain with no leaves etc - just logged up timber - but my guess would be beech. Do you know if that is prevalent where you took your photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody walloper Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 +1 beech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatherandSon Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) +1 for AshThose lighter twigs on pic 1 dont look like they're from the same tree. Ash bark is ribbed like Oak.

shoot and be safe Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 My first thought was Ash looking at the bark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If the twigs in the larger picture are from the same tree it is an Ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It may be beech , but it will almost certainly be ash after its been burnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) +1 for Ash I would say ash judging by the grey top bits. Edited February 15, 2014 by Linus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Can I say,.A dead one! Not Ash until you burn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felly100 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 That is Ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 To be honest the bark don't look like Ash to me and I am surrounded by the stuff, got some on fire now. Ash has an almost black leaf bud and the bark is firm, difficult to remove but strong but quite smooth over all until you get to the really big trunks of older trees. wild guess is beech but from the phonto could be almost anything. Show us any bud, end grain and a close shot at the bark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felly100 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 There are black buds in the top photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcock11 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 That is Ash. Nope - I am sticking with BEECH = as others have said the bark on mature ash is indeed ribbed. We have thousands of things or at least we did until Chalara Fraxinea kicked in - ash die back in case anyone is not up to speed with Latin!
