Indentify this tree

Greg,

How about acutissima? That is my best guess after looking through Dirr.

you got it Eric, nice job. What about the pic of the tree . Not the best photo for ID, but here is a close up that might help you out.

Thanks
Greg

 

[klimbinfool]

well, I dont think that pic was working , so let me try again. This pic goes to the full size pic of a tree.

Looks like what will be "purple trumpet-like" flowers of a Chinese empress tree, or AKA Palonia.

Hey Mark, you got it ...Royal Paulawnia. never could spell that that name either.

Is that a tree which resides more in the East? and is it a very large one ? I've herd they dont grow as big back there , but I dont know.

Well, time to get some more pics.

Thanks
Greg

here is an Oak dicot key. After reading it accutissima makes perfect sense!http://www.nobleplants.com/classnotes/fall/quercuskey.htm

I err...noticed the name of the tree when i clicked on the file attachment...the name gives away the answer!

 

[klimbinfool]

Here try and figure this one out...Two attachments one of the leaves the other is of a series of young trees I just pruned.

thanks
Greg

From the pic, the smooth bark looks a lot like a Beech, but I know there aren't that many Beeches out west. The spindly branch structure (like a mini-condensed elm) is leaning me to Zelkova. Zelkova serrata is my guess.

[klimbinfool]

damn , your right Nick ....ok ..challenge it is ....lol...I have to name my photoes so I know I can find it in my dig. pics...sorry about that

Greg

 

[NickfromWI]

Oh, don't give us a hard one. I was just saying to challenge us by not putting the name in the url. Maybe you could copy the photo to your desktop just for us, then erase it from there once you have it here on treebuzz.

You can give us a tough one if you want!

love
nick

 

[klimbinfool]

ok ...here is one without the name inthe URL...

Does this plant have an odor to it?

 

[Icabod]

Are you sure? I was almost sure that was the rare but beautiful 8354-DSC02807 tree!

 

[klimbinfool]

Idaho,

No odor that I'm aware of. It may have a little fragrance in the spring, but thats about it .

Icabod.. Definitetly not rare in these parts

 

[Icabod]

Is that some sort of Redbud?

 

[Bonsaikent]

Eucalyptus grow anywhere near you?

Kenton

 

[Nathan]

Madrone?
