Any tree lovers out there know what sort of tree this leaf is from

[Bosscat]

No ... perhaps a picture might help

[Chobulous]

Should be one but it didn't work. Give an old technophobe a bit of leeway.

[Bosscat]

Have a look at this m8 it may help

I love a nice tree (and unlike the fairer sex, they never talk back!!) I bought and planted 10 saplings, all different species, on a large open field at my work place before I retired 2 years ago and often wonder how they're getting on.

Nope it won't work so I'm giving up.

[Dark Cloud]

Do you always quit so easily???

What we didn't know is that Chobulous lives in the Amazon rain forest so it won't be in Bosscat's summary of British trees!!

[Bosscat]

Nope it won't work so I'm giving up.

Robert the Bruce didn't give up ... go watch a spider

Love trees, hate spiders!! Bast@rds!!!

This time of year is a nightmare for Arachnophobes m8... the little (and not so little) bast@rds are looking for warm and dry to over winter .... so are invading the houses up and down the land

[Bosscat]

Nope it won't work so I'm giving up.

We are intrigued Chobber m8 .......

Now we need to know what sort of leaf and tree you are perplexed by m8 .......

[Dark Cloud]

Surely the leaf in question was on that comprehensive illustration above. If not it may be rather exotic!!
And re spiders and the time of year. Oh,yeah. I am aware and I've boarded all the windows and doors, but still can't sleep, just in case.

Yep, absolutely definitely a Bakewell tart!!!!

Why is your Bakewell tart nailed to the wall?

I think its "Best Bakewell Tart" Trophy in the form of a "Bakewell Tart" it looks very Bakewelly Tartish doesn't it ....

The issue with the image upload on here is that it's capped at 2MB or something and most mobiles take pictures that are larger than this. I always have to shrink pictures from my phone to upload them to this site.

It’s doubling up as a clock.

Crumbs !

Still laughing....

Whatever the species of tree is, it is clearly a deciduous one and it sheds its leaves early.

[Dark Cloud]

Cracked it Chobulous! It's obviously a Bakewell tart tree! (Or am I overthinking things? Again!!)

[dougcollins]

Our Christmas trees always shed their leaves early.
2nd day usually.

Try putting it up on the third day instead.

There’s an App called Leafsnap where you can take a picture of a leaf and it is supposed to identify the tree.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work that well. Possibly my fault because I tried it with a picture of a Bakewell tart and it couldn’t recognise it....

[Hipper]

Of course the Bakewell tart is a leafless tree so it won't appear on that app.

Try Plantsnap, or better still, Tartsnap.

I used to use one called Garden Answers which in it's earlier days was really helpful! But it seems that the more data it absorbs the less accurate it becomes...it could be this? Of it could be this? Or this has green leaves is it this? A good example that more info in decision making is not necessarily helpful.

[Hipper]

A friend had Plantsnap and I was very impressed with it.

It mostly seemed to work on flowers but it could use leaves. For example Aucuba Japonica (Spotted Laurel) was easily identified. It means I can no longer get away by impressing people calling something Archimego heidiensis etc..
