Will was right.

maybe Tom too, i don't know the 'variety'.

River Birch to me.

glad you moved on and did another Tom.

I like this game, but work is overwelming right now and I'm going to have to quit the buzz for a while I think.

getting worn out. Climb all day and office work till 10:30pm and sometimes to 2:00am is wearing me down.

Pretty sure it's the former, not a cultivar. Nice job, that was a hard one.

PS - I was just busting cubes, Will. I'm out all day, so youze guys can have at it!

This one might be tough:

 

[theXman]

Dogwood variety.

yeah, i had to peak in on the buzz after all

 

[tomthetreeman]

Sambucus canadensis?

 

[robinia]

No dogwood, no elderberry.

 

[Dwelch5446]

Viburnum dentatum?

 

[robinia]

Clue:
Everything you can see in this photo is the same family.

FWIW: I had never seen or heard of this plant before.

 

[tomthetreeman]

The trees in the back left look like Sugar Maple, and the shrub looks opposite branched, so I'll guess Acer spicatum, even though every one I've ever seen has had less than 5 or 6 trunks, and they don't look like that.

[robinia]

My mistake Tom. There are 4 trees in the back left, and the one at the very far back left IS sugar maple. Unbelievable TFAD !!!
So correction: Everything you can see in this picture (except for Tom's EAGLE EYE sugar maple!) is the same family.

Not Acer.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Are we dealing with the Rose family?

 

[robinia]

Not rosaceae.
This is actually not a very big family although there are a few members we see very commonly, both tree and shrub. This particular little fella is all alone in his genus.

Another view of the neighbours:
(the spruce is not related

)

 

[robinia]

I should have put $40 bucks on this...

 

[tomthetreeman]

I can't see the new pic, my work 'puter is weird...

Is it Calycanthus?

 

[robinia]

No Calycanthus.
I feel like I should move this along seeing as everyone seems to have lost interest in this one...

The other trees in the photo are Chionanthus, Fraxinus, and Syringa. All relatives.
Single species genus.
It was new to me, maybe to others as well.
It is native to southern Europe (Sicily), southwestern Asia (Lebanon, Syria, Turkey) and eastern Asia (China), with two well-separated populations.(Wikipedea)

 

[tomthetreeman]

Fontanesia philliraeoides. Gotta love the internet!
