Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

longissima? How many species of Catalpa are there???

 

[tomthetreeman]

That bungei looks about right, Jeff.

 

[TNTree_man]

Aha! bungei it is. Manchurian Catalpa.
Looks like Jeff is it.
I figured once everyone was in the ball park it would come down to elimination. I like it when I help people learn. Good job both.

 

[JeffL]

LlI'll have something this evening!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Sure, sure... I narrow it down and 'bang' Jeff gets it. Kinda like 'loosening the lid' on the pickle jar LOL!

-Tom

 

[JeffL]

I had it the whole time, I was simply toying with you like a kitten toys with a ball of yarn!

Got one, on my way home from work now, have it up in a bit!

 

[JeffL]

Tree in the center!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Prunus virginiana 'Schubert?'

Is that tree giving me the finger?

-Tom

 

[JeffL]

Yes on the finger, no on the tree!

 

[TNTree_man]

Syringa reticulata ????
That bark looks very prunus to me though........

 

[JeffL]

Negative on lilac!

 

[trees4ever]

I go with Buckeye (Aesculus parviflora) ??

Horse Chestnuts bloom in Spring and Buckeyes bloom in summer.

[JeffL]

I figured for sure Diane would jump in and have this one right off! I'll give a clue, not palmate, but compound leaves.

 

[BayouClimber]

chinese elm?

Well,...I have been known to miss a few and besides I've been out working in the hot sun all week and that messes up your brain cells...temporarily...!

Plus all I really can see in the photo are the large "flower-fingers".

I don't know how Tom & TNT can see the trunk bark it's completely dark in that area on my computer.

Okay,I'll try one more...
Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)??

-Diane-

 

[JeffL]

The bark may be a dead giveaway, hence I didn't show too much detail, plus it's a cell phone pic no less. It's not any type of prunus is a hint.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Diane, I already guessed the virginiana cultivar 'Schubert.' I was w-r-o-n-g LOL!

The leaf arrangement looks like a hickory or an ash almost, but the tree looks like an ornamental; I just can't tell. I will look again later.

-Tom

 

[JeffL]

It is indeed ornamental. Largest I've worked on was approaching probably 40' wide and maybe 20-25' tall with a dbh of probably 7-8". And that was a large specimen for these from what I've seen.

 

[trees4ever]

Okay, after a good night's sleep I say it is:

Maackia chinensis or M. amurensis


-Diane-

 

[JeffL]

I knew you'd get it. ;-)

You're up again mon frere!
