Can u post a better pic of it for us?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No can do, sorry.

I'll have to wait on some clues

 

[tomthetreeman]

I already gave a big clue, the location. Those that know this tree may recognize the form based on that. Which is kinda like another clue.

I was going to take a shot in the dark based on one magnolia tree I've seen. Then I did a little research and there are Bayberries on that island and they are magnolia so my guess Myrica pensylvanica?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No whey, mon. M.p. don't get that big!

And it's not a Magnolia, either!

-Tom

 

[boreality]

I like it whatever it is.

 

[banjo]

Quercus robur. This is my new tactic.

 

[boreality]

Could be a rare bacon tree.

 

[robinia]

Ham Bush!

 

[Starlet]

is it a prunus of some sort?

hahahahaha! Nosir!

Also not a Prunus. Actually it's really nothing fancy, just a weird form.

Would you believe acer rubrum? I think I can see one or two individual leaves.
