Our beech tree… by atchoo

Our beech tree…

… or is it an elm tree?

The leaves on the huge beech tree standing at one of our gables have just started to unfold… this is a sure sign of warmer weather, and I have been looking forward to this every spring since we moved in 3 years ago…

But... a doubt has been raised yesterday - is it really a beech tree? Or is it an elm tree? ... Hmmm...

Here's a link to the previous shots that I have posted of this tree: https://365project.org/atchoo/tags/beech
When looking at the shape of the leaves I'm thinking it's a beech tree but it never carries any beech nuts... so maybe it's an elm after all...

I must find out for sure... it's frustrating and embarrasing not knowing :-)

It is a beech for sure :) If you look at the elm tree in the winter the buds look like black hooves of a cow. Following you now from Sweden.
