Hopefully one will fall off, so we can see a clear picture of a fully formed leaf. There also seem to be some flowers about to come out, again would be nice to see what those look like when they come out. From the bark, general pattern of the twigs, and approximate shape of the leaves, I'm thinking it might be walnut. They have a distinctive leaf notch at the base (see wikipedia on juglans regia), which we haven't the detail to make out, and should have catkin like flowers. But it could also be some kind of oak that doesn't have lobed leaves like English oak - there are 400 species of oak and they don't all have lobed leaves. And I'm sure there are other options. -- echinosum Looking at the last of your pictures, I wouldn't wory about what sort of tree it is, I'd advise phoning the council aboricultural officer on Tuesday and geting them out URGENTLY to look at the tree if it is still in one piece Looking at the trunk http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ent=tree02.jpg I'd say one good gale ond that tree could be gone and anything else in it's way.
