The message
from K contains these words:

I found several bugs on a baby (beech?) tree in the garden.


Don't know about the bugs, but I don't think it's a beech. Leaves aren't
quite delicate and smooth enough.


I agree. It looks like either hazel or alder. The first is far more
likely to have seeded accidentally in a garden, and very likely to be a
host to sucking insects.

Indeed - hazel it is. Self sown in a pot on the roof garden !
