What kind of tree is this leaf from?

mms

sometimes
my younga bruva is a tree surgeon. He gets to go all across the country saving trees like some kinda nature superman and get's paid lottery money. It is however the 3rd most dangerous occupation apparently, he's healthy as a man can be, but he's been doing it for a couple of months and already almost sliced off a leg with a chainsaw...

Looks to me like it could be from a Lime Tree. You can tell those because they're slightly sticky.

Might be a hornbeam.... like a jagged edged beech... s'not a hazel--- they have bigger flappier leaves.... just read the red berries bit.... probably some kinda cherry, definitely not a hornbeam/beech/lime/hazel--- these don't have red berries --- meagre chance of it being an exotic rowan/service tree (a sorbus, Linneanly speaking). Ah yes the delights of urban botany!?!
