id from one bad pic?

[Gord]

i've worked near this tree a few times but never when it's in leaf and the people apparently are very tidy because i couldn't find any leaves that i thought were actually from this tree. it definitely looks out of place around here (vancouver bc.) ficus is my only guess.

Doesn't look like a Ficus to me, but it's hard to tell from the photo.

Gord,

Can you get a pic now? It is too hard for me, but I'd have to guess an Ash due to the tip growth?

 

[klimbinfool]

looks like a Green Ash ?...

Hey Gord, if you want, PM me the address and if I get close I will go have a look and see if I can ID it for you.

i had a look in one of my books for the leaves that i remembered that i did find on the ground but didn't think were from this tree. it seems that it may be a mulberry, maybe Broussonetia papyrifera. would the nubbiness of the twigs be characteristic of this tree? the bark is gray and fairly smooth like a common fig except for the lumpiness. i cropped the pic to show a little more detail.

The Brousonnetia papyrifera that grows here in Hawaii does not have twigs quite as knobby as those in the picture. What color is the bark?

 

[Gord]

the bark is a light grey Leon.
