I collected this last year along with a beech from an area with loads of beech saplings and I thought it was a beech but it doesn't look like it, any idea what it is?
and it has these buds which made me think it was a beech..

Agree - shoots look like beech but leaves don't.

Leafs of beech on a tree that is stressed or was stressed will look misshapen. But that is definitely a Fagus sylvatica. |

I would say its an unhappy beech. Those leaf buds are very characteristic of beech. Maybe didn't manage to grow enough root after the collection last year. |

Thanks, it's just getting left for a couple of years anyway so hopefully it will recover if it is stress, which I think it is now. I could sing to it to release the stress but that would probably finish it off.

I have seen funny leaves like this on Beech hegdes. Its usually the second flush of leaves after midsummer, which arent as vigorous as the first in spring. |

Could it be a Lime, I have one similar which I think is a Lime. Just a guess. |

the dead looking branch has the normal look of a dead beech branch. That is the colour and surface roughness |

Lime leaves are heart shaped with a pronounced tip and an asymmetric base, and not shiny, and the trunk bark isn't beechy-smooth like the one in the pics. I'd say beech too - the leaves are just like the distorted ones I got last year. This year's came out fine but are slowly giving up to the heat, despite copious watering. J. |
