Trees from a distance

[robinia]

I can't tell if that really is compound-leaved. It looks like a maple. I'd guess silver, but wasn't that guessed already? Can't be sugar?!?!?

Red Maple?

 

[banjo]

Maybe....Tom, someone should just follow their instincts.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Acer negundo!

 

[theXman]

alright, maybe you just didn't like that Tom said Acer negundo with a question mark.

cause you said no questions answered.

so: Acer negundo

 

[theXman]

funny, we typed it at the same time, but i had more to type so yours went on first.

 

[tomthetreeman]

beat you X.

yup.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I am ashamed of you, Ted. I was expecting something much more obscure. Like a PawPaw or a Franklinia. Boxelder. Sheesh.

I can't remember if I posted this one before, so if anyone feels like cheating, just go back a dozen or so pages and work your way forward; it might be in there.

Is that hackberry? The ridges on the bark look too flat...

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a Celtis of any sort.

 

[theXman]

i'm having a hard time seeing if compound or simple leaf.

the bark slightly looks like Pecan. Also the heavy hanging strong limbs, like pecan/hickory.

So I'll throw out Pecan for now.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a Carya.

That's what makes it so much FUN!

 

[boreality]

Could it be that you are ticked about getting burned on the boxelder twice and threw us an Ulmus Americana? Bark looks too smooth though.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I did NOT get burned on the Boxelder. Ted was disengenuous with a boring TFOD offering, trying to make somethin' outta nuthin'. BTW, I WON that round! AND the one before!

...So I'm giving you an extra hard tree! Not U. americana. Could possibly be a Boxelder, though!

Hmmmmm.........

(Now Ted will probably get it, the bastid.)

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm not bitter!

 

[boreality]

I'm going to stick with the Ulmus genus because of the vase shape.

 

[robinia]

I keep coming back to Ulmus sp. but none of the barks look right. I would have said Gymnocladus dioica but the twigs don't look stout enough.

Maybe Prunus serotina?

Anyone want to take a stab at this one?

[tomthetreeman]

It'll be lonely in camp Ulmus tonight until you foster a guess at species. I have eliminated two entire genera so far, now I'm getting stingy.

[theXman]

going by what i think i see of the leaves, Ulmus is my new guess too.
