Trees from a distance

[banjo]

The landscape sure looks like the west coast of Scotland. Which makes me think its another one of Grover's trick questions. I bet fifty cents its another Pinus sylvestris.

Banjo is correct, and it is the west coast of Scotland.

I love Scots Pine.

Your cash is on its way!

Banjo...you get to choose the next pic.

 

[banjo]

Yes, cash please. Credit card is ok too. I'll send my paypal info via PM.

What about the tree I already posted? Nobody got it yet.

No. Is Ostrya virginiana the only tree in that genus? I think it is. My tree is also the only tree in its genus.

 

[Thillmaine]

I'm going to go "out on a limb" and say Betula spp.


SZ

 

[banjo]

No to both. I was wrong about it being the only tree in the genus. Brain fart I guess. It's a common tree found all over the US. It leafs out later than most.

 

[bobby_k]

eucalptus

 

[banjo]

No.

 

[MattyD]

Not an Acer spp. or a Quercus spp.? I don't know Juglans nigra?

 

[BostonBull]

I was thinking along the same lines. maybe Butternut?

 

[banjo]

No, but it does have compound leaves.

 

[MattyD]

pinnately compound?

 

[BostonBull]

Aesculus hippocastanum

[/ QUOTE ]
As a mature tree, yes. In youth it is common for this tree to have bipinnate compound leaves.

 

[BostonBull]

Alianthus

 

[banjo]

No, not Ailanthus. This tree is native to the US. It is not invasive here, but in other parts of the world its a problem. It is also a legume.

 

[MattyD]

Gleditsia triacanthos?

 

[banjo]

Yes, that is it!! Now its your turn.
