unknown species?
Hi,
Can anyone help me determine these species? They are both trees that lose their leaves. Thanks in advance, regards Wessel

I would concur that Beech and Apple are most likely.
Node: That tree guide you linked to has some terrific photography. For our friends in the U.S. there is even an extensive report on your native species. Good link, one for the new database perhaps.  Regards, Ian. |

The first looks more like European Hornbeam as opposed to Beech to me. Beech leaves tend to have a smoother appearance whereas these appear to have more of a "curve" on the surface between leaf veins. The bark also looks more like Hornbeam than Beech too.
No idea on the 2nd one. All the best, Aaron

Aaron,
Yes, Hornbeam is a possibility I thought. Need to have a closer look at home tonight. Cheers, Ian. |

Wessel I do not know much about European trees, but my experience with native American species lead me to think the same as these guys. I would suggest you look at pictures of hornbeam and apple and see if that doesn't fit your plant.

Look at the buds. Beech buds are very sharp looking, Hornbeam are not. The one on the left does look more like Beech, but there are several varieties of this tree. However the buds all look the same.
