Nick,
The lagrest Acer griseum I've seen was at Arnold Arboretum outside of Boston. It's been a while but I recall it being about 30 foot. Anyone from Boston?

Eric

PS - Tom/Mark Think it's about time for a seperate topic for ID????
 
Ptar, thanks for all those common names.I really didnt know there was that many. However , I do know there are different varieties and the wood veries as well. In Oregon which they call Myrtle, the wood is much different then what I grew up seeing. What I call pepper wood is more of a white color. What Orgoneons call myrtle is a more colorful wood.The potency of the leaves are much different to . Pepper wood or CAli BAy is very potent and you dont wont to use much of it when your cooking. It will over power everthing. Bay Laurel, from what I have seen is a much milder form and is what you want to use for cooking.
Chew on a Pepperwood leaf and it will clear your nose and burn your throat for an hour.

So Nick, these leaves are a form of what you put in your Tofu. . So be careful what you use...ha ha

Somebody asked if this was a Madrone. here is a pic of the largest Madrone tree in the world , up untill 2000. It finally blew aprt....Sad

Greg, I don't think that tree is all that big. It just seems like it because all we have to compare it to is you standing next to it!!!!

So can you send me some dried bay leaves? I am making lentil soup tonight...bay leaves would be nice!

love
nick
 
Greg,

Wow. I wanted to post a pic of a large madrone that
I found on table mountain in the bay area but it's a
toothpick compared to this monster.

Where was the picture taken? Camino CA, near Placerville?

Thanks for the bay leaves info.
 
ok heres an off the wall one I think. It's a crappy tree in my opinion. Fragile and they kind of smell like peanutbutter when cut on.MOst people just say they stink.

The story goes that the Chinese brought them into the US as revenge on the white man for all the unjust causes brought to thier people and that they did. There are like a weed and propagate ferociously if not kept under control.

Give it a whirl. I'll put a full on tree if no one comes up with anything.

Greg

IN TAMPA FOR 30 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN ONE I DID SEE ALOT OF THEM IN NAPLES AND MAIMI WHEN I WAS THEAR AFTER HUR. ANDREW
oops didnt relize my caps were on
 
Some sort of Ficus would be my guess. What size it the trunk? How Tall? If you saw alot in warmer zones then I guess this is near the ocean or well protected, correct?

Eric
 
OK, Here's my 1st attempt to post a pic for ID. If this comes up it should be easy for many of you. It is found in zones (4)5-9 according to Dirr. I have seen it as far as Sarasota FL and see it regularly in the Northeast.

I know that we are putting pics up quicker than the answers are coming, but here's a different one to try. I saw it while working on those Pin oaks from the "tree removal dilemma" thread. It isn't too common, but has a unique look. If you know it, you won't miss the ID.
