Eastern King George County, VA.
Pictures of bark and twigs attached, as close as I have for now.
The site was a homeplace and farm for over 120 years. Certain areas around where the house was are more densely populated with trees than others. We want to know what the species of trees are...
Can anyone identify the trees in this photograph? They are tall trees, and it was hard to photograph the top of them. The reason we are interested is because we have learned through aerial imagery that this spot once had a house on it. The house was taken down sometime between 1937 and 1953...
We're looking to get a general idea of the types of trees that grow in this section of the woods on our property in Virginia. All pictures are taken within a 50 yard radius of each other. We're not looking for any specific tree to be identified, just a general idea (pine, oak, etc) of the...
This part of King George (far eastern part of the county) in the 1800s was called "The Barrens" because of its sandy, acidic soil. When stumpsprouts suggested P. rigida, I looked it up, and P. rigida appears to do well in this type of soil. I don't know much about trees.
It’s almost 6 feet tall. There are three of these rectangular structures that have been there for some time. The previous owners (from 100 years ago) ran a logging business and we wonder if they were used for that. They’re incredibly heavy. Attached is a picture of the other two.
I agree that the tree diameter is way under 3 feet. That was a bad guess. I can’t remeasure until I’m back there again, but I’m including another picture showing the tree growing through the metal structure. The pipe is welded into a rectangle at the base. The pipe is about 4 inches in...
The diameter of the trunk at the bottom is conservatively about 3 feet. It's hard to estimate the height, very tall. In the fourth picture, with the golf cart, it's one of the tallest trees.
Good question. I should have labeled them.
First picture: The bottom of the tree in question.
Second picture: A view pointed up at the tree in question (at center)
Third picture: A few steps away from the tree in question, with the tree in question at the center (not the tree just left of...
Could anyone provide guidance on identifying a tree from eastern Virginia? We're interested in knowing what type of tree it is and how old the tree might be. The reason we're interested in how old the tree might be is because it grew up through the middle of a heavy rectangular iron structure...
Thank you everyone for your help. We're very curious about this tree. It's in King George County, VA, which black locusts are not native too. I don't know what the flowers looked like in spring. I'm going to take more pictures soon. I'm terrible about identifying trees. Thank you again.
