Re: ID needed
I think Mojo might be on to something here and went out and examined my Alnus Cordata and that was also very similar

Re: ID needed
first picture is at nebari a bit further up we must be getting closer to the identity now.Mojo Moyogi wrote:Petra, I think maybe you might have Alnus jourulensis - Mexican Alder or Evergreen Alder.
If you can get an in focus closeup of the trunk, I will be able to tell.
Cheers

Re: ID needed
Petra,
I'm more confused actually, the leaves scream to me Betulaceae (Birch) family which contains the Alders (Alnus), Birches (Betula) and the Hornbeams (Carpinus) but I can't find a match. The pictures of the trunk, the bottom one reminds me a lot of Photinia fraseri, but the leaves dont match that either. I'm stumped
