Liriodendron tulipifera , Tulip tree

 

[trees4ever]

Okay, Tom.
Let's say this cluster of trees in the middle is dead.
Therefore, the little seedling in front is possibly a pine or hemlock ??
Everything is getting fuzzy now...

[jerseygirl]

It's not dead, but it's not exactly the picture of health either.

The seedlings are White Pine, and totally unrelated to this deciduous angiosperm.

JZ, it's not a tulip, either.

[trees4ever]

I got it.....it's a clustered deciduous angiosperm!

How about Tilia (TOMentosa) heterophylla?

[Blinky]

Platanus occidentalis... for Tom's... I think... I might be lost.

 

[trees4ever]

Blinky, not fair, not fair!!!

I kept looking at the branch unions and knew that configuration ... but couldn't bring up the name...dang, dang, dang.

Well I would jump around and say stuff like, "I totally smoked you on that one." and "It's a Sycamore Dude!", but it hasn't really been working out.

The internodes are kinda short on that one.

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

It was Blinky's trun anyways NO??????

 

[tomthetreeman]

Guys, it's not a Sycamore, but it is sick. That is your big clue. And the one about how it's staring right at you.

[easyphloem]

I am terrible at riddles, and anytime someone proclaims something is "staring right at me", it seems to make it more difficult for me.

How about Castanea dentata, American Chestnut.
Not sure how it would work in with the staring right at you clue however.

 

[tomthetreeman]

YOU GOT IT, TN!

The 'staring right at you' clue is the big stain on the trunk, right in the middle of the pic. If you were able to magnify closer, you'd see alot more smaller necrotic 'stains.' Chestnut blight causes necrosis that starts at branch unions and at the base of the tree. I will post another pic of this later.

NICE JOB!

[TNTree_man]

Cool. I don't want to hold up the game. I Still have no pics ready. If someone wants to jump in cool. Otherwise I will get some pics today between raindrops. Thank God for a typical Tennessee spring weather pattern.

Beatiful bloom and leaf out this year I"ll have some great pics soon.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Me too. According to HR, Blinky has a turn, so maybe he'll put one up. Enjoy the weather! We're having rain on and off all week, but the glass being half full, all of the 250 trees we planted this Spring are being watered!

Here's a picture of one of the lesions on the C. dentata:
