Help identifying?
Hi all,
Couple of things I’d appreciate some help identifying…
The first looks somewhat familiar and has popped up amongst my griselinia - sorry picture not great, wasn’t easy to photograph.


The second seems to have appeared in a grassy area this year, to me it looks almost like a beech tree leaf?
Any help much appreciated!
Thank you.
Aidan.

thank you - the birch in question seems to be spreading along a grassed area, is this normal?
I'd get rid of the willow too. They get huge, and aren't terribly attractive. They seed around very easily - as you've discovered.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
ill take the goat willow out, don’t want it interfering with the griselinia!
The birch I might leave as it’s appearing in front of a fence which is actually quite ugly and if it grows big enough would cover it nicely and give a bit of shelter…
How does it spread? It seems odd to see clumps of it here and there.
Can anyone tell me what this is please?
