Trees from a distance

[Waldo]

ummm... x.... its now friday afternoon and there is no new tree to ID.... i'm quite upset. but not that upset that it will ruin my day, just disappointed...

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

it's ok I feel like a bump on the log here lately. by the time I do know it it's been guessed wtf??????

 

[theXman]

alright alright, sorry, i'm very behind on everything....

picture at my house, view across the pond.

guess any number tree.....

 

[theXman]

bonus if you find something in the picture.....

 

[Waldo]

1. Paper bark maple Acer grisium 2. Atlas blue cedar Cedrus atlantica 3. String leaf false cypress Chamaecyparis pisifera filifera 4. Colorado blue spruce Picea pungens

i hope i got some right...

 

[JeffL]

3. Tsuga sargentii weeping hemlock?
4. Picea pungens?

 

[TNTree_man]

That about covers it I think. Is that a racoon in the background?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I think Jeff is correct on the Hemlock, and Waldo on everything else. I think the Cedar is a dwarf, which would make it most likely 'Blue Cascade.'

Now all we have to do is wait for Xman to get online. Figure about midnight, 1:00. ;-)

Is that a zip-line for pond access on hot summer days??!

I see the zip line, and Bigfoot is right behind the beech.

1. is NOT paper bark maple. hint, not typical shape because i dug it out of the ground and had lots of bark damage when i did it two years ago. It's recovering.

2. Correct. but as Tom said, it does seem to be a dwarf and I wondered if there was some kind of dwarf blue atlas cedar variety. thanks. this tree i saved from the chipper, was going to be removed with a bunch of other overgrown weed-trees on a job. i got two of these.

3. Good guess but no. this was to be a removal from a job too. pulled it out of the ground with skid loader and crane, bark got skinned pretty good. this might be showing a little more yellow than usual due to the stress, this is only it's second year since the transplant. Looks like it'll make it.

4. a blue spruce yes. another tree that was going to go to the chipper. 2 years ago i brought it home and planted it, then, this spring moved it again to this location.

suprised no one saw the young red-tailed hawk in tree number one.

yes, zip line in the top of the picture. that's worth some bonus points i suppose.

later,

wow, looks like u got that right too...

 

[theXman]

here's some picture help...

here is number one tree being moved to it's new location. it should give some clues.

(should have been a month earlier of course, bark way too soft at this moment)

 

[Waldo]

tree one- crabapple Malus spp.

and was the Chamaecyparis right?

 

[JeffL]

1 is cercis canadensis

 

[tomthetreeman]

I would say that 1 is either Prunus subhirtella or Malus 'Prairiefire.' It seems too densely bloomed to be Cercis.

If not, I go with Cryptomeria japonica.

If it is Crypto. and it doesn't green-up after it settles in it may be the variety 'Elegans Aurea' with yellowish needles.

**I didn't see the hawk because I was distracted by the pretty pond
