Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Cornus mas (or officinalis)?

...But the distance between nodes looks too long...

Grrr... I'm going to double-guess...

Cotinus?

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

this is a wild guess but i have seen these syringa reticulata? they can be small tree....multi stem

 

[JeffL]

Tom is up again!

Smoketree, cotinus obavata.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Starlet can have my turn.

And UTC still has one, too.

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

thanks tom, some of my pictures are pictures from reports and studies i have done, they are not all mine, but i will throw one out there. good luck

 

[JeffL]

I'm gonna go ahead and say sweetgum.

 

[Starlet]

negative on sweet gum, let me know if clues are needed not a good close up shot.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Acer circinatum or japonicum?

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

no not acer at all clue: leaves are 10-14 inches long and wide. zone 4-7

 

[robinia]

I'm going to guess Kalopanex pictus

...but I don't know what I'm talking about!
I've never seen one in real life, just books.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm going to guess Kalopanex septemlobus. ;-)

I just found the same picture online:

Why does this keep happening? Google images makes the world a small place!

-Tom

(PS - I had no idea, I just googled what Robinia posted hahaha! So I am definitely NOT up next!)

 

[Starlet]

good job i have only seen one, but i had to do a report on one so i had to find lots of pictures, that i did not take and one real one. they are gorgeous, huge flowers in july-aug. the leaves are gigantic and glossy green. needs lots of space. you are right.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Robinia's up!

 

[robinia]

Wow, what do you know!
In the wise words of my groundman Bob: "Even a blind squirl picks up the odd nut!"

UTC is up if they are ready...
If not here's one to tie us over:

 

[tomthetreeman]

An old bonsaied Larch?

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

cedrus atlantica?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm thinking if it were a cedar, it would be Deodar, being that yellow. Or a Larch. See how I cheat?

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

i have seen some greener atlantica's deodor are pretty green also,i am not sure about the cheat part is that a joke haha i did not get it, but i am rather slow on the go today

 

[tomthetreeman]

Well I said larch then you said Cedar, and then I capitalized on that. Not that I didn't think cedar, but it looks like I stole your guess. Which, of course, I did.

-Tom

 

[robinia]

No for cedars and larches.
I can tell you that it is deciduous, and don't bother with cultivar - genus and species is good enough. In fact Dirr doesn't even list this!
