There is a very subtle difference but just may be that one photo is not as clear as the other. The one in the pot has a little scale at the leaf axil. If the other one doesn't it's different.

I am spending ages walking round trying to identify a tree which is in a pot and a nice shape too, with others growing nearby which are 'known'.

All the 'experts' at the allotments are undecided as well. The common thought seems to be wait until it flowers. If it ever does.

Is the one you have got a fruit bush, a gift from the birds?

My guess is that it is a shrub rather than a tree from the shape of it. But will it be a climber?

Both appear to be the same and like Campanula my first thought was Hornbeam.

No, not hornbeam, the stipules are wrong, and see those extrafloral nectaries on the petiole, they're distinctive, and the hornbeam doesn't have them.

Logical, Hornbeam, since we have one!

But don't think so?

Definitely in the Fagaceae family. A beech would be the other choice, but doesn't look hairy enough.

The extra-floral nectaries are suggestive of a bird cherry to me.
