Tree identity for complete novice!!

[tomds]

This may seem like a silly question, but I am completely new to the woodland world. Can anyone tell me what kind of trees the ones in the photo are??


Many thanks
Tom

Hard to tell, it would help if you photographed a few leaves.
Might be coppiced Hornbeam ??

Hi, almost certainly Hornbeam, which, has a smooth, green bark and oval jagged edged leaves .
Hornbeam can only be confused with Beach and there are very few of those where you are ( I'm assuming your location from the info you gave ).
Darling buds of may territory you say , so your near Pluckley ?, is it the woodland down Stanford Bridge on the way to Bethersden ?.
I have woodland in Ruckinge not 10 miles from Pluckley.
Welcome by the way.
