Dam, it looks like a weeping Ginkgo or Mulberry, but Dirr lists both of those.

That flaky bark looks like two other trees that it's clearly not.

Grrr...

[banjo]

I say ginko anyway. there are a bunch of cultivars

 

[robinia]

Yeah, it's Ginkgo biloba.
Maybe my Dirr is out of date. I didn't see anything listed that sounded like this...
Never seen one like this before or since.
Nice work. I foolishly thought this might be a bit tougher!

 

[Starlet]

i am not sure anything is too tough for tom, i dont have enough pictures to fool him, he's good. that was a good shot rob, i have not seen a ginko that looks like that. my dirr's alsd has ginko. i think it depends on edition.

 

[banjo]

I'll get him, give me a little while.

 

[Starlet]

hey i think your up, try it now. i am sure he will accept the challenge, so will i and tom is alot better than i am. i have a tough time with pictures, give me a real tree in person, but pictures i have a sight issue.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hey, I got Ginkgo first! And Ted spelled it wrong anyway!

So here's one for your guessing pleasure.

I'll be in trees all day tomorrow, so if no one gets it by about 7:30 AM, it'll have to wait.

bitternut hickory? what do you guys think about an insect and disease ID?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a Hickory.

I&D ID will never be as popular as TFAD. This thread is where it's AT! ;-)

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

YOU ARE right this thread is the best, but the other could be fun. oh well i thought the bark looked hickory or elm, i will keep looking, may have to zoom in

 

[tomthetreeman]

The buds will tell you more than anything with this ID. I just gave it away.

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

well i must be blind i do not see the buds, if what i am seeing they appear reddish color? acer rubra but i can not really see buds. just bark and limbs--shape but no buds

 

[tomthetreeman]

How can you guess the color if you can't see them?

Don't jive me, sister.

-Tom

 

[Starlet]

i barely see the color it is fuzzy brother it looks reddish pink, but you can not see buds----too fuzzy no jive>....

 

[tomthetreeman]

The arrangement of the buds is what makes this tree ID easy-ish. No need to see them close up.

-Tom

 

[MattyD]

Starlet I really liked the guess of bitternut. I was thinkin mockernut at least on the same page.I also look at the buds and think Acer. those buds look like Acer saccharinum.
