I think this tree is an Oak, a White Oak - Quercus whitus or sumfin like dat.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Alla youze are way off.

 

[trees4ever]

What about a Liquidamber styraciflua ?


BTW, Tom, you've got a very nice looking cat

And I agree some cats are definitely smarter than others!

[tomthetreeman]

Good guess, but nuh-uh again.

Timothy thanks you for the compliment. He happens to be the World's Best Cat. What a coincidence that he is my owner.

[easyphloem]

I'm guessing Liquidambar.

[jerseygirl]

could it be

Sycamore
Platanus occidentalis

 

[Dwelch5446]

Metasequoia glyptostroboides

Or Ginkgo biloba?

 

[JeffL]

Dwelch has it! (I was also there for the photgraphing of this tree, along with another I'm sure Tom will use next.....)

It's gingko, probably close to 24" dbh and 60-65'~ish tall.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Jeff, I'll mix it up next time I post, so you don't have to sit out! Thanks for the backup!

BTW, JZ, that was a good guess... It does look a strong-central leader sycamore from a distance!

-Tom

 

[Dwelch5446]

I don't have a good picture to post now, so maybe someone else can post one up here.

 

[tomthetreeman]

OK.

You must name the cultivar of this tree to get credit.

I tink dat tree is a Bradford pear, although if it is, it'll be the first Bradford Pear ever to exhibit downward growth patterns amongst the lower branches.

Bradferderos is the cultivar I believe

 

[trees4ever]

I go with Pyrus c. 'Aristocrat'

And I'll also take the pretty kitty next to the peonies.

[tomthetreeman]

Come on, guys! Do you really think I would put a Callery Pear up for ID? It's a little harder than that! (Maybe not much! ;-))

The pink peonies are kind of uncommon, they are called 'Bowl of Beauty.' Timmy is not up for adoption, but he needs a babysitter from time to time!

It looks like a Cherry of somekind. Or a fruit tree.
