2s and 3s

 A couple of tall Alders in the village 

And a trio of Sycamores near home.

Lovely Larches

 Beautiful trees putting on their autumn clothes.

An autumn maple

 Just a nearby Norway Maple putting its autumn clothes on.

Sunny October trees

 No autumn hints just yet, still nice to see.

Lime, Norway Maple, and an Ash with a wonky trunk.

From A to W

 Couple of local trees from a dog walk today.

An Ash and a Willow, Crack Willow I believe.

Nice Aspen

 There's a few of these Aspens in the park near us. I hope to see them colouring up soon...

Wych Elm

 A nice Ulmus glabra at Richmond Castle, Yorkshire.

A trio of trees

 From a walk to the village.  

A Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) on the village green.

A big but wide Yew 

And a Sycamore with developing samaras 

It surprises me that I still see trees in my village that I've yet to photograph!

Underneath a big beech

 Spotted this impressive big Beech in north Cemetery, in full sun. It was fantastic standing underneath it!

A couple of lovely limes

 There were quite a few of these at North Cemetery, and in full flower the smell was lovely!

Big Sweet Chestnut

 Spotted this fantastic specimen at North Cemetery, Darlington.

Stunning!

Lombardy Poplar

 A magnificent example of Populus nigra var. italica at North Cemetery, Darlington.

Whitebeam

I spotted this lovely multi stemmed Whitebeam on the way back from having my second Covid jab.

European Aspen

 Spotted this lovely Poplar today and I was unsure of the species. I found out via Facebook it's European Aspen (Populus tremula)

Young leaves are triangular with pointed tips, but the adult leaves are very different in shape, rounded with ruffled edges. 

The petioles are flattened, allowing the leaves to tremble in the breeze, hence the species name.

I expect it to be quite pretty in Autumn when the leaves turn bright yellow; one to go back to!

More May Marvels

 Some trees seen today while on a walk to the village. 

First, a lovely Plane, just coming into leaf.

Then a Sycamore atop a hill.

Further along there were a few Hawthorns, full of blossom.

Near the allotments there is a lovely Hornbeam, with a very tidy form.

Then I saw what is possibly the biggest Whitebeam I've ever seen, all flowers finished.

Finally a big Birch with a wonky lower trunk. Moments later it rained quite heavily! 

A little mixed bag

 Some trees from today's walk. 

A Whitebeam with quite a lean on it, a magnificent Lime tree (Tilia sp.) and a big Horse Chestnut currently in flower, towering above a lamppost. 

Couple of blossomers

 A Snowy Mespilus (Amelanchier) and a domestic cherry (Prunus) in bloom 

Spring Awakenings

Approaching mid April and things are just starting to stir. Its still quite cold out and some areas are still having snow, but it's a sunny day today though, perfect for a little tree spotting.

A few Cherries just budding up and a Norway maple with bright yellow flowers.

3 March sleepers

 A trio of trees just beginning to stir.

Hawthorn, Birch and Whitebeam.

(Edit, I originally thought the last tree was a Sycamore, but now its in leaf I can see its actually a Whitebeam!)
