Anyone know what this tree is? It’s in my new garden and I curious.

I would say it's a birch and planted too close to the fence

Looks like a birch tree to me. The woodland trust have an app which you can use to identify types of tree which you might find of use.👍🏻

It’s a birch and neglected - needs pollarding

Thanks guys. We plan to cut it back quite a bit later in the year.

The trunk looks silver like a birch but birch leaves are usually pointed with serrated edges - it looks more like an apple to me.

Maybe ask your neighbours if they've ever seen fruit / blossom.

I thought apple when I saw the first pic

Its definitely NOT a birch but the pictures aren't close up or clear enough to identify accurately. Might be a whitebeam or one of the willows. Some clear close up pictures will help
It's not an apple tree they don't grow that shape. If you cut off 8 inches of a twig and put pics I can probably ID for you
