Oh yeah, only 5 guesses per person and not a single hint after these two pictures.

On Wednesday morning (3-10-10) around 7:30 am I will post the answer and the guessing is done. If someone gets it before then, I will let you know they got it and pay up.

alright, now you all have a little over one more day left.

It is NOT a North American Native tree.

Picture was taken in Maryland on one of our jobs last week.


and no one has it yet.

Just genus and specie. No variety or anything like that needed.
