Trees from a distance

[willbranch]

I don' even know where to start with that one. Has it been debarked ?

 

[willbranch]

Is it Arbutus menziesii ?? I hope so because its the only guess I have.

 

[Waldo]

yes you are correct, the madrone

 

[willbranch]

Here is a new one. Not a hard one I just thought it was a good looking specimen.

 

[JeffL]

Gleditsia triacanthos?

 

[willbranch]

It's not Gleditsia but I think It might be a guess in the right direction....

 

[Waldo]

black locust, robinia psuedoacacia

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm with Waldo.

 

[JeffL]

Gosh, that is a nice black locust. The leaflets looked too big for honey locust, but the form looked too nice for black locust, guess there are some good ones out there!

 

[willbranch]

Sorry to burst the bubble but its not Robinia either.

 

[JeffL]

Are we on the right track with small compound leaflets? Coffeetree?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Alright then, now I'm with Jeff LOL.

 

[willbranch]

There it is , Kentucky Coffeetree .

 

[JeffL]

I'll be out for a buzzy tomorrow, maybe grab something, but someone else is free to jump in!

 

[JeffL]

Jeez, bunch of slackers! Well, to keep it going, heres an easy one from my front yard. I've got a couple of beauties here at home.

Nope, although this tree has a pretty awesome trunk flare as well which you can't see in the photo.

 

[ncclimber]

quarcus alba

 

[JeffL]
