Please help identify some trees and shrubs
Hi all,
Wondering if you could help me identify some trees and shrubs. I'm hoping to take cuttings from some of them to form a hedge/border around a small paddock. Would like to find out if they'd be suitable and perhaps choose the fastest-growing ones.
Photos below, labelled A-I. I don't know much at all about different types of trees but from what I've seen online, I'm wondering:
A: is this some sort of cherry tree?
B: Hawthorn?
C: also Hawthorn (with slightly different leaves) or something else?
D : some sort of wild rose? Dog rose?
E: perhaps Elder? (it's growing underneath the Hawthorn)
F: no idea
G: perhaps some sort of Ash (very small)?
H: Oak (very small)
I: not sure at all, wondered if it could be an apple tree
Any advice much appreciated - many thanks in advance.
Fiona

A Cherry tree complete with cherries. You might want to drape some old net curtains round it when the fruit starts to ripen. I do, since I lost every cherry to the jackdaws.
B Hawthorn, deffo.
C I should know this but can't remember the name. Not hawthorn.
E is elder, a much under-rated plant IMHO
G is ash
H is oak but I couldn't tell you which, there are several species
I could be apple, pear or crab apple
The public library can probably lend you a field guide which should help.
C looks like a Hawthorn to me. Possibly the Midland Hawthorn, Crataegus Laevigata.
