    Definitive Study Text for NJ LTE

    Sorry, ThatsNotFennel is my name on another forum. I get mixed up sometimes. Thanks Mike for shedding some light onto the exam. I know you can't speak specifics, but you've pretty much backed up my suspicions that the LTE exam is going to be pretty rigorous. There's nothing wrong with that...

    Definitive Study Text for NJ LTE

    Thanks so much for responding Mike. Would you say the written portion is comparable or harder than the ISA written? I'm trying to plan the two exams so that they are close together (ISA being first), that way I will have the hopeful advantage of gaining insight from the first exam. Either way...

    Definitive Study Text for NJ LTE

    Thanks cervi. Honestly, there are only two real bodies here in NJ. The Society of the CTE and the NJ ISA chapter. Both are HQ'd substantially north of me and neither seem particularly active unless you are already certified/licensed. Just looking at their respective websites yields little in the...

    Done. Thanks JD, I appreciate the help. Really need a nudge in the right direction with this stuff.

    Definitive Study Text for NJ LTE

    I will try to make this as long and obnoxious as possible. This Spring/Summer I am going to take both the ISA exam and the NJ LTE (Licensed Tree Expert) exam. I am not overly concerned about the ISA exam, as I have the study guide, and it honestly seems pretty straight forward. Without the...

    What Kind of Maple? - pics included

    @JD3000 Only certain cultivars have the purple underside. Pseudoplatanus is spot on here.

    Trees from a distance

    I always thought they had a more umbrella shape in the open. We don't have them around here really. I swear I will take another shot tomorrow.

    @JD3000 Quite alright. I'm running on fumes right now, lots of 14 hour days. This week looks like the light at the end of the tunnel. I will take a wild stab and say Aesculus hippocastanum. Why? General shape I guess, can't really see anything else in the picture.

    Sorry guys. I know I'm up, but I've been dealing with storm damage and snow removal. We can't seem to catch a break here on the East Coast. I will post a picture tomorrow if no one else has.

    Removal but I'm still not sure what it was...

    I'm still learning myself. But we have tons of Ash trees up here and I've never seen one that looks even a little bit like the tree you've posted. Good luck in your search.

    Removal but I'm still not sure what it was...

    1. Leaf. Fraxinus leaves do not have a waxy upper. From the pictures they also look to be on the thicker side. Ash leaves are not thick. Also, the midrib and veins are usually much more pronounced (a lighter color). 2. Form. Most Fraxinus sp. have what some called a "dirty" growth pattern...

    Removal but I'm still not sure what it was...

    As JD has already said, it is definitely not an Ash. Unless you accidentally posted pictures of the wrong tree.

    A. saccharum? Usually pretty rounded when left in a wide open space like this.

    :mad: Tomorrow I will list every single red oak I know, and then I will use Google and list the ones I missed. And then I will post a picture of a New England Hamburger tree from 2000 feet away, and victory will be mine. I may or may not be a sore loser.

    Q. macrocarpa? Last guess before I finish my glass of wine and dream of oak species that don't drop.

    Man I was so sure with shingle oak. I know Q. velutina and palustris are both generally marescent, but I can't remember many others. You say easy, I say trick question.

    Hmmm... Marescent, bark looks a little dark but maybe F. grandifola or sylvatica.

    Pine tree

    Pictures suggest P. ponderosa ssp brachyptera, but you'd need clearer pictures of the individual fascicles and stem. Also better measurements of mature needles would help. Zone helps, but a more specific geographic region would be even more helpful. That is going to be a big beautiful tree...
