Indentify this tree

[klimbinfool]

Mark is correct with his guess. Cedrus Deodara. I didn't take any full shots of that tree because I felt it would be to much of a gimmi. However , I dont know how many deodars grow from mid west to to East. I guess I will try to take fuller shots in the future.I suppose there should be some guide lines to this , but i'm not in charge of that area.

Ok try this one. You have all eaten them before.

Wow! that did not look like any of the deodars I have seen before(I haven't seen too many). Is the new one an Olive?

Kenton

 

[klimbinfool]

Yes Kenton it is an olive tree...good ID

Greg

 

[klimbinfool]

heres one that grows mainly in Cali,and parts of Oregon. Maybe else where that I dont know of .They grow very large on the coast , but smaller inland. Wood is very hard and grows in spiral layers.I'll give a pic of a small tree if you cant figure it out .

Give it a shot

Madrone???

 

[NickfromWI]

Here's a fun one.... I've only seen a few of these, none over 20' tall. I don't think they get much taller than that.

This is picture of the whole tree.

Here's a good close up of the trunk

 

[Roger_Barnett]

Yo Greg,

looks to be a tanoak....?

Who can identify the trees behind me:

 

[NickfromWI]

Roger, those look to be some Skius avoidus. There are many planted like that ski resorts throughout the country. Don't run in to them!

 

[klimbinfool]

Nope Roger, definitely not a Tan Oak.( Red Fir) silver tips ? or maybe a (Snowfrozenous) Is that really you ? Cool pic.

Juiceman. not a Madrone. Leaves are oval shaped, dark green and glossy

Wheres the Cali guys at ? should be able to pick this one right up.

Think Spaghetti !!!! sometimes used in it .

Nick . from what I can see of the leaves it looked like a Maple of some sort, but then looking at the trunk , I thought of Birch . Not familiar with the papery red trunk. Got me stumped on that one .

 

[NickfromWI]

Greg, that's why I put that tree on here. The leaves send you one way, the trunk sends you another!

I'll give a few more people some guesses before I let the cat out.

Greg,

the shot is at Alpental, one hour from Seattle, at 5000 feet. No red fir this far north.

Here I am going a bit bigger. Puny compared to the drops my model did yesterday--a 35 footer, a barrel roll off a 20 foot drop, and a huge 50 footer off an icefall.

OK, then it's a California bay myrtle.

 

[Bonsaikent]

Is that a Paperbark Maple, Acer griseum? I have seen a few in Oklahoma like that.

Kenton

 

[Eric_E]

Yes,

It is Acer griseum.

 

[ptar]

hmmm spaghetti...
I don't cook but I'll try Umbellularia californica

 

[NickfromWI]

Nice job on the Acer griseum ! I thought it was gonna have you stumped for a few more days!

Anyone seen any tall ones, or do they pretty much stay around 20'?

[Mark Chisholm]

I'm thinking bay leaves here?

 

[klimbinfool]

your thinking right...California Bay...also known as a Pepperwood...the old timers called it that .

Ptar, I dont no the botanical name for it ...Is that it? I need to write it down if it is ...

Greg

 

[NickfromWI]

So are these THE bay leaves? The kind I put in my soup....along with tofu?
