Help with identifying a tree from seed and leaf please
Hello,
I'm not much of a gardener and just do the donkey stuff for swmbo. I do hope this is an appropriate group. She picked up a leaf with attached seeds in NW London a few days back whilst visiting friends. I have put a photo up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/31263451@N07/?saved=1 It looks V much to me like sweet chestnut seed but the leaf does not. Leaf and twiglet were firmly attached when gathered from the pavement, they have now separated. Many thanks, Nick. |

I've see no reason to suspect that it's anything other than London Plane (Platanus x hispanica), which is a common street tree in London. BTW, you meant fruit, not seed. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Most are of the form: Not too big and more slender than usual and very green and the leaves come straight out from the trunk. |

But it was the 'attached to a leaf' and 'NW London' which added-up to a plane. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
