Hi have dug up this 14 foot tree as it is in the wrong place, but I wonder if anyone can help tell me what is is? I wondered about silver birch but the leaves seem wrong. Help!!

It looks like a whitebeam. Does not look like a silver birch - leaves are much to big.

My gosh that was quick, many thanks JessM. Yep it somehow wasn't right for silver birch, but then I was a bit stumped. I will go away and look up whitebeam. Cheers! :-)

We've got one - fast outgrowing its allotted corner. Undersides of leaves white, hawthorn like berries.

Ah, that's worth knowing glad I dug it up now!
