This is a tree at my work. It's fastigiate (narrow, columnar) ca. 7m tall. I always thought it was a Hornbeam, But, this year I've noticed that it is producing nuts (lots of them). And looking closer, the leaves aren't serrated like a hornbeam. Any guesses?

I'd have backed your original thought that it's a Hornbeam. They're a member of the Beech family with twisty stems and leaves just like those in your pic. Beeches also have nuts so that fits. If Tippben still haunts these pages, he'd probably know.

Thank you. That makes sense. I just didn't think about a variety of Beech trees being fastigiate (the regular canopy kind are MUCH more attractive).

Humble apologies for not referencing you SS. I stand corrected in that respect but am glad I was nearly right.

I had a discussion with an American lady lately and she told me the outer covering of the flowers when they fall off , they in America call this beech mast. I told her in Ireland we call the nuts mast.
