RMweb Gold pirouets Posted November 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2011 Daft question, but does anyone have a view on the type of tree in this picture? My attempts using google have not got me very far yet. This is taken off bing maps and is above the loops at the top of Hemerdon Bank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted November 15, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2011 Look a bit like silver birch to me - any takers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 M'learned friend from the valleys is spot on. Heading for Google Streetsnooper allows one to peek into the woods to have a look - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hemerdon&hl=en&ll=50.400223,-4.00604&spn=0.000014,0.016512&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=23.193365,67.631836&vpsrc=6&hq=hemerdon&radius=15000&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=50.400185,-4.0059&panoid=-G-V9YaOeXDpoRoNr3qcrQ&cbp=12,5.56,,0,0.58 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah - Silver Birch. They're the commonest, here in Poland: grow well in sandy/poor soil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold pirouets Posted November 15, 2011 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thank you gentlemen. Now to find the right autumn colours. Still a way from planting but this weekends trip to Warley will hopefully allow some searching for the right stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
