[Waldo]

Have you been to this tree Diane?

 

[JeffL]

Quercus bicolor then?

 

[JeffL]

I'm not terribly familiar with their usual branching habit, but could be quercus virginiana also?

What he said!

I love to see when a tree lays down branches and uses them as bracing. Nature's the best architect/engineer!


I think you can go ahead and take a turn TNT because Tom is getting busy with ISA, RI. (and besides he has carte blanche to take a turn whenever he wants

)

Let's try this one. It will be tough. This is not a common tree and this isn't the most common form for it. It tends to be more shrubby.

 

[JeffL]

Syringa reticulata?

 

[TNTree_man]

Sorry. No not Syringa. Way less common. this tree is a summer bloomer.

Just another name for Syringa reticulata.


This is a hard one, and I thought Japanese Lilac too when I first looked at it.

I will be interested to know what it is!

[TNTree_man]

Not hydrangea.I believe it blooms white. It may be slightly yellowish.this tree is alone in its genus.
