Trees from a distance

[banjo]

New guess.
Zelkova?

 

[easyphloem]

Not a Zelkova.


They call this tree (this particular tree) "The Hanging Tree" because of the long horizontal limb. It is in Historic 4th ward in Uptown Charlotte.

[easyphloem]

No.



I think you'll get the tree once you look at the closeup.

Oops! Sorry BostonBull, I realized you were still guessing Banjo's tree. Should have realized you wouldn't mistake my mystery tree with black oak!

[BostonBull]

Yellowwood?

 

[easyphloem]

Not Yellowwood

Let's try a new one: Should we start numbering these, for communication's sake? I'll give it a shot. Though we're a few trees in, I'll start here with

TREE NUMBER ONE:

 

[KyLimbwalker]

EZ, is it Celtis occidentalis?

 

[CHOPPER]

tree no 1
ficus microcarpa (Hillii)

You are correct sir!

[easyphloem]

Tree number one looks like some sort of Beech.

[banjo]

No. It is not Quercus.

 

[Thillmaine]

Cladustris kentuckea...I agree with bbull defintley a yellow wood or somethign else we dont have in new england

 

[banjo]

We do have Cladastris growing and thriving in southern New England. Granted, they are landscape trees, but hey still do well.

 

[Thillmaine]

sorry poor grouping of words/sentence. ( I think I went to college?) We have plenty of yellow woods growing in the boston area. What I was saying is that if it isnt a yellow wood then its a species that doesnt grow in new englnd..

 

[banjo]

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend.
