Hi,
I’m looking to plant some small narrow trees along a fence line and I saw these recently in the Melbourne Museum Children’s Garden and thought they would be perfect. Does anyone know what they might be?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

I agree a close pic would help. It does look like a betula papyrifera judging it by the white / grey bark colour. Its hard to tell but the leaf shape look a bit like a ginkgo tree :confused: ? the betula is a lot more likely.

Thanks for the replies, this is a zoomed image but I don’t have anything with a close up of the leaves

Yep, ginko was my first thought before I saw the close up.

Surprised they got it in the children's garden as it can cause severe allergies :eek:
