Pretty easy but lets do it

 

[banjo]

European beech

 

[tomthetreeman]

Looks like you're up, Ted. At least I think so.

-Tom

 

[banjo]

Bam.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hmmm.... Opposite branched. Compound leaf. Crown looks like Acer negundo, but I can't imagine you would do us like that. Trunk bark doesn't look like it anyway. Must be a non-native. Back to drawing board.

[tomthetreeman]

Is it a really huge Chionanthus?

-Tom

 

[JeffL]

Green ash?

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

I'll say, white ash, Fraxinus americana, to cover the extra base Jeff

 

[tomthetreeman]

Could it possibly be a Cedrela (Toontree)?

I don't think they are opposite...

-Tom

(I have no faith in my first two guesses, either. Feeling non-comittal today, I guess.)

 

[banjo]

I'm not giving hints.

 

[MattyD]
