No John I don't think so. I'm familiar with that one and the leaf is a different shape.

Maybe a grey poplar, Populus x canescens; white poplar x aspen

Looking at it again, I don't think it's a poplar; more likely a plane tree, Platanus sp

Just a shot in the dark:
what's about a Morus species, perhaps Morus nigra?

The leaf is wrong for Morus nigra.

unknown shrublet
« Reply #10 on: July 26, 2016, 01:27:36 PM »
I wonder if someone knows this small shrublet - about 20 - 30 cm?
Unfortunately I lost the label (and the name, which I forgot unfortunately)

I agree with John regarding your tree Shelagh; it is a Populus, most probably alba, maybe a cultivar of it. The close up branch picture shows the variable leaves which is typical for the species.
