    Hi there,

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but I saw a similar thread and was wondering if any experts could identify this type of tree for me.

    It's in Leinster (Dublin Mountains) if that helps at all. I was thinking Rowan but just not sure. Many thanks.

    The two broadleaves appear to be common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), not sure of the conifer, would be better to see more foliage and the crown shape.

    Thanks @greysides for posting the full picture.

    That's great @CaptainAhab, let me see if I can get a better picture of the whole tree (and a close up of some foliage) the next time I'm up there - thanks again for your help.

    To easily identify a tree, you want clear photos of the tree itself, leaves/needles, bark, and fruit.

    keep an eye out in SH bookshops/charity shops for John Kilbrackens book "the easy way to tree recognition" Worth snapping up if found.
