Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

I told you it was a softball. You're up.

 

[robinia]

Lucky guess I think. I usually see them fairly pyramidal but understand they can get spready. They're not too common up here.

Here ya go:

 

[climbncut]

Taxodium distichum

 

[RGus]

Katsura

 

[tomthetreeman]

I agree with C. japonicum, but just in case, I'll throw in F. sylvatica.

[trees4ever]

I'll say a young Dawn (Metasequoia glyptostroboides).


...with no "puffery or smack"

I will try for Asplenifolia often confused as Laciniata.


On a side note: I think Tom has a special optical computer for images. He can zoom-in closer than most.

Asplenifolia it is. If you could see that then you must have a special computer too!

No, I just thought the foliage looked lacy and feathered.
That's what made me say Metasequoia first. I couldn't tell if there were leaves or needles.
I have an old PC right now with bad resolution but hopefully by Christmas time I'll have a Mac!

I get one more day to play on the Buzz then it's 'back to the woods'.



I'll post one for now. I think Tom won't mind.

Who are these two beauties?


-Diane

 

[williamd]

Acer platanoides

 

[trees4ever]

Very close!
Acer is the genus, but what's the species?


-Diane

 

[theXman]

Acer macrophyllum

 

[williamd]

acer saccharum
