Trees from a distance

Nice pic. Beautiful tree!

Maclura pomifera

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nice "guess" Matt.

The photo is titled "Osage Orange" when you proceed to save it for the purpose of zooming.

Nice try. Doesn't count. ;-)

You Know It! still a nice tree, we've got one just like that at my church.

 

[tomthetreeman]

If I didn't say anything you were gonna ride off into the sunset with that one hahahaha!

I posted one from Blithewold Arboretum here in RI a while back, some one nailed it the second I said 'kinda large fruit.' The tree is like 30" DBH X 45+ feet tall, which is a big specimen.

So I guess robinia can post another sans title? Honestly I don't care who does as long as I've got something to guess at. This thread went dormant for too long!

[robinia]

Damnit! That's the second time I've been burned by file names...

OK new picture:

 

[tomthetreeman]

Syringa reticulata?

 

[banjo]

Acer triflorum. See you tomorrow tommorra.

 

[boreality]

Prunus pensylvanica? That gets more yellow than red in fall.

No, no, and no. But Boreality is on the right path, so to speak.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Prunus subhirtella?

 

[robinia]

Not a Prunus.

That clue was pretty obscure, although not quite on the Star Wars level!

 

[boreality]

I see Starlet's file name was also up there on the turkish filbert. I hope someone puts money up again.

 

[robinia]

I've now learned my lesson with Google Images! $40 would be nice though...

 

[tomthetreeman]

So, is this a cultivar of Acer negundo? Possibly 'Auratum?' It appears to be opposite branched with possibly compound (3) leaves. These could narrow it down a bit...

Just tell me if I'm wrong, I'll go from there.

(PS - You're supposed to have taken the pictures yourself!)

 

[boreality]

That was the osage I guessed acer.

 

[Starlet]

yeah i checked my picture when i realized that the osage orange you could see the name sorry guys i did not even think to look at it so i will have to check them before i post them also anyway the one up now looks like acer something but i can not tell, any other clues or i will have to keep looking i guess, it almost looks like the leaves are shaped like sweetgum, but tree is too small. anyway i will remember to check my files before i post pictures. was there money riding on the turkish f.?

 

[boreality]

I thought I saw red berries. That one was the $50 round.

Nope, but funny you should guess that - I almost posted that exact tree! And it was my own shot...

No and Yes, respectively

I'm slowly learning all the rules here. Future photos will be my own, but the artistic quality is gonna drop!

Yeah, I know. I'm making educated guesses and grasping at straws at the same time!

Starlet, there was no $ on the Corylus. That goes back a few days to a TFAD that I got correct. Cha-ching! I WISH there was money on more of these! I'd be sittin' pretty right now!
