Hi

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me identify this tree?

I think it is a type of oak, but am not sure.

Thanks!

Kind Regards

Daniel

There is only one Sorce! The original real crazy one we like so much. A name change is in order, for your own good. Idk about the tree...
 
Actually looks alder-ish :)
But with no certitude whatsoever. ;)

Welcome!
 
It certainly is not an oak.

"Elmish" is also what came to my mind: if the base of the leaf is assymetrical (the base being slightly lower on one side of the petiole than the other half), then it must be an ulmacea.
 
Tilia Americana or perhaps Tilia Cordata? Linden trees.

The edges are almost dead ringer for American elm.

I feel like the leaf shape might not be the same across...

Or it is an elm with a bit rounder leaf.

Tilia cordata - the small one. Common UK name Linden or Lime tree.
