    Hi,
    Can anyone help me in identifying the tree that the leaves belong to on the attached, approx 10no growing on the edge of my site, was wondering should I try to dig them up and replant if they are native species.
    Not green fingered so any help appreciated.
    They are now approx 1.5m high

    Elder -- I think.
    Plenty of info about it - very common, grows quickly, not the most attractive of trees, but opinions differ etc It grows quickly and unless you want/need it I'd be inclined to get rid of it.

    Are the stems hollow? Can we see a photo of the stem, if it's hollow it's elder

    Thanks All,

    Def not apple trees as none for miles around, I will try to get a picture of the stem over the next few days which might help confirm.
