I thought you guys might like to see this C. florida
Ontario's champion.
Do they get much bigger in the states?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I have seen bigger, but not too many and not by that much. That's a pretty big'un.

RI's Champ is 128"c 28'h 40'cs. I assume it's a multi stem.

[willbranch]

Sorry no foliage this time of year . Have fun with this one

 

[boreality]

Fabaceae? Caragana arborescens.

 

[theXman]

Hazelnut, Corylus americana

 

[willbranch]

Very swift ! X you nailed it !

 

[theXman]

thanks Will!

I saw a cluster that looked just like that this past season.

I will post a picture in the next 15 minutes of the next tree to guess at!

 

[theXman]

Alright you beeches, here is the next one.

Since it's been a while since I have posted a picture, I'll mail you $40 cash if you get this next one right.

I'm feeling generous since I made about $9 grand on that stock I tried to get you guys in on.

every tree in this picture is the same tree.

what is it?

$40 question.

 

[robinia]

From the foliage I'm seeing Juglans regia or Cladrastis. Not so much in the bark though.
Couldn't be Asimina triloba?!?

 

[boreality]

Looks like some good guesses. Man you easterners have a lot of varieties. I've only been past Manitoba once. It was when fall colors were going off on the north side of Superior. Incredible.

 

[JeffL]

Maackia amurensis

 

[tomthetreeman]

Definitely Cladrastis kentukia.

Jeff, I'm almost buying your Maackia guess, but the leaves look a little too big. I never realized how similar the two were!

Tom got it with the strong statement of Cladrastis kentukia, "yellowwood".

Sorry robinia, you said three names, "From the foliage I'm seeing Juglans regia or Cladrastis. Not so much in the bark though.
Couldn't be Asimina triloba?!?".

I counted only one actually submitted, Asimina triloba; as I took the others as thinking outloud. And since only one guess at a time, I viewed your Cladrastis as not an official guess. Hope you don't hate me too much for it.

Tom's gettin' the $40.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Alright, then. Without further ado:

 

[theXman]

i doubt u'd make it this easy, but i'll say anyway.

cornus florida

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope. Not a florida.

In the wise words of my wife (who is never wrong!):
"Say what you mean, not what you don't!"

 

[robinia]

Pterocarya stenoptera?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a wingnut.

 

[cerviarborist]

Albizzia lebbek?
