    One looks like Beech, the one in leaf, the other is grape.

    More like lime; but difficult to tell. The grape is the one without all the leaves.
  • Looks more like a Lime to me, not quite narrow enough for Beech. Mind you, I'm wrong at least half the time.

  • Is it any use or shall I compost it? I'll try and look up info on growing a grape

    Thanks guys  I'll now go off and start another projectimage (won't tell the chairman thoughimage)

    It might be fun to grow the vine as a climber for it's foliage, but unless you know the variety  it'll be difficult to know what conditions it needs to produce grapes - some are much better inside. 

    The beech/lime or whatever tree it is will be a big tree - do you want a big tree? If you do then plant it, if you don't then chop it up and compost it.

    Starting from the original post - whatever it is, it's not a currant - are we all agreed about that?
