Got a problem. For various reasons (too complicated to go into) My House Insurance renewal got a last minute delay. A Possible substitute insurer wants to know the type of tree growing in my garden, near to the House.
Does anyone know how to identify it.
All in feet and inches I'm afraid. No metricals in this house.
Its about 15 - 20 feet high.
Trunk about 9 inches Diameter/36 inches circumf
Bark, Very rough, with vertical grooves about an inch apart.
A few green leaves on each twig, Each leave almost heart shaped tapering down to its stem, serated edges.
leaves about an inch wide, possibly one and a half inches long excluding the stem, one to five leaves on each stem, and several stems from a slightly larger stem.
(but remember time of year, probably not fully grown)

Thanks everyone - niot ignoring, but I have been searching for my cameara and charging to get a Photy. But I have not found whatever I needs to transfer the resulting picture into the computer.*
Thanks all for your help. I've got the Insurance bloke to find another underwriter who does not ask stupid questions
* I think that one can plug a lead from the camera rather than needing to load the Card into anything else. but the camera needs a different plug to anything that I can find... (Lumix)
Thanks again

I wont go too far "off topic" but the Camera has a socket different size to anything else. One has to take the Battery out to recharge in a separate holder from a mains socket. There is a Cable for the camera to plug into the 'pooter.
Camera is Panasonic DMC-F3.

If you can get a picture you can sometimes 'ask google' and it will identify it from your picture. With vertical grooves I was going to suggest an Ash, but doubt it is a member of the cherry family as they have horizontal marks on a bit of a flaky looking bark.
If it is in your garden it could of course be anything and not necessarily a native tree. |

Thanks for posting those Pictures - The first cable on that list is NOT mine - secomd photo (I bought one but it is not that). The 2nd one (Fifth photro) Does look like mine.
I know it is here .... But I am bogged down with de-cluttering, (aka "Tidying up") so I can no longer find a damn thing. Not helped by the "Lock Down" and/or shortage of housebound rubish collectors (this mornings collectors have not materialized) So much of my de-clutter remains indoors before sorting/refilling rubbish bags. But I know I saw the rightful cable a few boxes ago...
Apart from having forty years of work - Papers, reports, some "Experimental" tools, I am also the Last of my Family Line, and I seem to have acrued "airlooms" to scrap. This includes another Camera - But with a different sort of connector that I cant find, bor even find a Model or Makers name so I couldn't find the whatever unloading software would be needed....
I might pick some brains here, once I can sort the more immediate problems. .. For obvious I cant even put a phgoto of that camera here.
Thanks everyone.

Have you been able to take a photo yet? Can you ask someone to use a phone to take the photo? For identification, you could use a website like www.mygarden.org to help you. |

From the description of your tree, I think it could be a Beech tree.

Thanks for that ... A bit of explanation... A Neighbour installed a Windmill in his Garden to Produce Ekectrickery. In Summer, Sun shines through the blades of his mill causing flashing/intermittent sun/dark .. put it how you will, but it was very iritating my Lounge and impossible to sit in the Window. Thus I allowed the tree to shade my Patio Window/doors with its boughs and leaves. I asked my council to get him to move it (e,g,. on to his roof), but it appears that they couldn't
Thre things happened.
1) The bloke next door and/or His Boyfriend, Kicked the Bucket,
2) The House owner reposesed (and subsequently re-tenanted) The house, and Demolished His ex-tenant's windmill (and a lot of other stuff - Don't know how He fitted so much stuff into that House - There was a very nice Lathe in the Take-away lorry: It took them 3 days a week for three weeks to clear), but the removers also Hacked off many of the branches of My tree, that in fact, no longer nrrdrd to shield me from his contraption, and
3) my own ill health has been been more of a concern to me than getting somr daylight, so I'm "diverted".
I doubt if I'll work again (althouh I'd love a nice NHS job to get my teeth into), so if things go as I hope, I can get back to improving House, Gardens. and restoring my car for it's 70th birthday.
