European Hornbeam

[Revisited] Carpinus betulus IDed by claw like buds flat against the twigs and yellowish green catkins. European hornbeam is monoecious, so the images below likely contain both female and male catkins. The female flowers are green with three lobed braces. Their length seems to vary, but idk. The males are yellower and around 3cm.
