Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Finally!

Whew!

I worked WAY too hard on that one. It's a good thing I'm hiding out from the rain today!

Alright, Tom's tree id skills are undesputed. Let's see how he (and everyone!) does with shrubs.

Wow, I hadn't noticed the twigs are so thick and resemble walnut before. I guess I haven't walked over to one in the winter.

and we have more and more of those junkers around here.

that's the one I predict will become listed as an invasive tree.

sorry i didn't pay attention that Juglands was already listed.

I'd say that looks alot like Peter Tork in a Pittsburgh Pirates hat. But he's not an arborist.

Careful Tom, you're dating yourself!
"Peter who?!?"

 

[Thillmaine]

Cercis Canadensis...oen thats been whacked down and has resprouted

 

[tomthetreeman]

Quince?

 

[theXman]

my second guess was AUTUMN OLIVE (Elaeagnus umbellata)

 

[JeffL]

I'll go with Hibiscus

 

[robinia]

No hits yet. Good guesses!
Let me know if/when clues are required.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Pussy willow?

 

[Starlet]

maybe winged euonymous

 

[tomthetreeman]

Pussy willow (my other guess) or Bayberry? Never seen a Myrica sucker quite like that, but I bet up your way they're a different animal.

[robinia]

This is a native shrub but not at all what would be considered a typical 'landscape' plant. I'd be willing to bet it hasn't ever been posted in this thread.
You might have to dig deep in your id books for this one.

 

[theXman]

ha ha, Tom had three guesses in the one post

 

[theXman]

Red chokeberry?

Actually, I already guessed Pussy Willow, and Myrica is Bayberry, so there was only one guess there. Nice try at dragging me down though.

(PS - Aronia is a damn good guess.)

(by one means of definition, Aronia is just about as far away as you could get!)

((that's a clue...))

Zanthoxylum, Prickly-ash.
