This tree was collected a couple of days ago, have no idea what species it is, it was collected on a cliff near a lake.
Anyone have a guess?

Buds have many scales in a zigzag pattern.

At the base there seams to be a lot of small buds.

Not much to go on.  And that goes for why you collected it, too.  I wouldn't expend a lot of effort to collect what might turn out to be an unsuitable plant.

The buds look vaguely apple-ish.

Show us a leaf when it is fully out.

Hello Dreamcast - Yes, Jim is right, there is very little here yet for a certain identification. When the tree leafs out we might have a better chance at helping.

From the photo of the winter bud this looks vaguely like a hornbeam given the small and imbricate bud scales – but please understand this is just a wild guess at present.

Good luck with the tree and send us a photo of the leaves and flowers when you see them. That will make identification much easier and much more certain.

Torbjorn and Arihato - I think you are both on track!  The buds of Quercus do have small and tightly imbricate bud scales.  Thanks for the help!  Spring will let us know much more!

It was the ray pattern on the wood in you other post that was what gave it away for me

Thanks guys! when i collected it i actually though of a future design in the lines of a very old oak tree so if it's indeed a Quercus i will be very happy, but have read they can be somewhat difficult for Bonsai and to be collected successfully.
Hope it survives.

Oak it is, and one that is also growing very well. Smile

Well: congratulations Dreamcast! You seem to have a very nice Quercus robur. Torbjorn and Arihato were absolutely right. I wish you all the best with this tree. Please keep us posted on its progress.

Yours,
David B.
