Hope this is not off-topic as it is roadside, could you send me to an appropriate group if so.
I have scoured many woodland websites trying to id a group of small trees planted roadside by the local council (many years ago).
Though not visible the trunk is dark chocolate colour mainly and smooth.

Myself and the local farmer would be grateful if you could throw some light on these.
