Indentify this tree

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

Mike that is a beauty! I've always liked Tulips (away from the house) because of their size and growth pattern. One reason was the challenge of climbing these trees without spikes and junk that used to be the way most did it. They always say to me that you CAN'T climb that tree without spurs. It's fun to climb trees that don't have any limbs for 60',70' and higher!

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

Mark ,

Right up the road from the Tree House about ten minuts.A wild tree. I belive Tom started climbing it , but never finished due to time. According to Jerry , no one has ever been to the top except for us who climbed it last weekend .
Heres another one of Jesse Bawcum and Kenny Rawe just before exiting at 140'.

Greg,

I'm happy that you got to climb the trio trees. That is a nice setting. The ship's bow is amazing isn't it?

When the Danes were over last summer we drove up to take a look. As we walked around the trees we found a little rattler that wasn't happy with us being around. I didn't like that so much! The first time we walked past we were about ten feet away but it didn't buzz until we came back.

Do you want to start a new thread with more pics?

Tom

Re: Redwood

Do we all have to wait for Nick?

If not, I would guess Magnolia x soulangiana

Re: Redwood

ha ha , no we dont , but I'm trying to get him to lower his rate.

Yes your right Mark , I figured that would be an easy one .

How about this one. Should be easy to .

Re: Redwood

My midwest mind wants to call #5 Salix babylonica...Weeping willow.

nick

ps- I knew #4 was a magnolia, but I never would've gotten the botanical name.

Oh, I learned a new one today...Cunninghamia lanciolata (I'm guessing on the spelling, so you might have to say it out loud)...It belongs to one of the trees on this thread...do you know which one?

[/ QUOTE ]

'Cunninghamia lanceolata' (China Fir). Mark made us guess
this one.

Do you mean another tree in this thread belongs to the
same family?

It's weird because some sources claim Cunninghamia
lanceolata belongs to the CUPRESSACEAE family (cypress),
others claim TAXODIACEAE and yet others claim PINACEAE.
I don't know which is right.

If pinaceae ir correct, Cedrus deodara posted by Greg id'ed
by Mark and the Aleppo pine (id #2).

if cupressaceae is correct, then the western red cedar also
posted by Greg.

Re: Redwood

No, I was just giving the botanical name of a tree that we'd already mentioned. I wasn't sure if anyone brought it up when Mark put the pictures on there. Maybe I should go check....but yeah, it was the china fir.

love

Re: Redwood

Here's ID #6! I just got a new camera, so the pictures might not be too great. let me know if they're bad!

This one is the whole tree...

 

[NickfromWI]

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

Here are the needles for ID#6

 

[klimbinfool]

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

your right Nick kind of a dark pic . It looks like a spruce

Greg

 

[NickfromWI]

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

I am going to try to get a better shot of the needles and get back to you on this one. I think I'll turn the resolution on my camera up a bit, too. I think it's on the lowest setting.

love
nick

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

I know, but I can't tell. I told Nick to submit that one today at work. He should remember the latin too!

Re: Redwood

I haven't been on for a wile due to ISP troubles. I used to be listed as idahotree. According to Dirrs' Manual Cunninghamia is in the family Taxodiaceae.

Re: Big Tulip Pictures

ID #6 - Abies concolor is my guess based on the available pictures, needles look blurry.
