Trees from a distance

[NickfromWI]

Diane- you got the genus right. It is a pittosporum. The specific epithet comes from the wavy edges of the leaves.

 

[trees4ever]

Okay, thanks, Nick, then I go with Pittosporum undulatum.
Beautiful tree, although, I've heard its roots can get to be rather invasive.

[jerseygirl]

it is non native and invasive.

interesting does the state of confusion (opps) california wants it tracked and removed?

HaHa, JZ, More like the State of fire and smoke!!

It was pretty bad up here in N.CA for several weeks.
I'd come home each day with my eyes stinging and coughing like a smoker! (which I'm not) No offense intended to the smokers.

Also, these fires were 60+ miles away and still the air was bad probably because there were 1,700(!) fires going at the time.
And now when I'm pruning trees all the ash that has settled on the foliage comes flying into my face. So I'm getting it twice!
All those years of 'clean' living gone to waste...

Looks like trees4ever. Give it one more day and then next in line goes, what do you guys think?

Thanks, BB.
I have a great mystery tree to post but need time to stop by and take its picture first.
So I'll "pass".... for the moment.

I can vouch for that. He called me from the same hotel I am staying at. I still haven't confirmed in person that he is here, but I would be surprised if he wasn't here.

Maybe tomorrow we can meet up at the Starbucks on the corner.
