Tree identification please?
Trying to identify two trees in our garden. One is a very overgrown conifer type, I suspect Leylandii, can anyone confirm this?
The other has a very lined bark on the trunk, ie not smooth, I was wondering if it could be a hornbeam? All our other trees are oak, beech and birch.
Grateful for any help.

The conifer has shot up in between a Scots Pine and a mature birch tree. I’ll do a crush and sniff test after lunch. I’ve been shredding cherry Laurel prunings this morning, and now have a strange craving for some marzipan!
