Trees from a distance

[Neill]

Am I correct that I'm seeing opposite branching on that?

Not a maple
Don't think its ash, or buckeye. Probably not dogwood??? So I'm looking at Caprifoliaceae. The really light coloring at the ends of the branches makes me think Lilac - but the bark and size say "no way".

As far as I know it has alternate branching.
Not an ash, buckeye, lilac or dogwood- unsure if related to honeysuckle. it’s not a giant bush honeysuckle. I think they are not related

 

[Neill]

Not Salix or cercis

 

[ATH]

Halesia

 

[Neill]

No, not halesia or styrax

Serviceberry of some sort?

 

[Neill]

Not a serviceberry of any kind.
I’m wondering if you all have these trees in your area? It’s an introduced non- native invasive here

 

[AdkEric]

Just a guess but mimosa?

 

[Njdelaney]

Russian Olive?

 

[Neill]

Not a mimosa or olive

Saw this and some other really nice white oaks on a 1920s farmstead today

Styphnolobium japonicum? (Japanese pagoda tree / saphora)

 

[Neill]

Not Styphnolobium japonicum either

This tree is fairly poisonous

 

[Serf Life]

Ailanthus?

 

[Stumpsprouts]

Ailanthus?

Neill said it was non-invasive…
The poisonous thing is really throwing me for a loop!

Chinaberry

that’s it! A big nasty chinaberry. Pretty awesome size and form though

From what I hear, you have to enjoy 3 months of putting up lights, and another 3 to take them down!

Only 1 month to take them down (if the weather cooperates).
