Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

That's a Prunus sp, most likely Prunus serrulata 'Kwanzan,' based on the crowded branch origins and disappearing trunk taper.

[robinia]

good guess, but would it grow roots like the tree in the first photo?

[tomthetreeman]

Oh... Betula lenta, Black Birch!

?

 

[robinia]

really close...
btw: isn't B. lenta cherry birch? black birch is B. nigra?

 

[tomthetreeman]

River Birch? (nigra?)

lenta is Black Birch (Sweet Birch, etc...)

nigra is River Birch

It's confusing.

 

[robinia]

Not yet. I hope you've got these down there

 

[tomthetreeman]

Yellow Birch? (alleghenensis?)

 

[robinia]

That's the one!
I'm going to bring my camera into work tommorow so I can have more photos to submit...

 

[tomthetreeman]

Here's an easy one.

 

[robinia]

Aesculus? maybe plain old hippocastanum?

 

[tomthetreeman]

That was way too easy.

 

[robinia]

Alright here we go:

Genus should be easy but lets hear species folks!

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

London Plain

 

[climbncut]

Acer rubrum

 

[robinia]

So maybe genus won't be easy...
Sorry folks, no cigars!

 

[Symbioun]

Populus grandidentata?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Populus tremuloides.

 

[JeffL]

Populus alba

 

[robinia]

nope. good guesses!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Ok, then, I am going with P. balsamifera, although it looks a bit big for one.
