Trees from a distance

[JDT3120]

no sir.

 

[Toparboring]

First photo by the shed looks like a Flowering chestnut second one looks like a Honey locust.

 

[JDT3120]

The first one is a Japanese raisin tree. Keep guessing on the second.

 

[robinia]

How about Juglans nigra?

 

[JDT3120]

nope.

Nope. Time for some clues...

Alternate, simple leaves. Buds and stems pubescent.









edited cause I'm an idiot...

 

[theXman]

that first pictures is clearly just a Black Walnut.

what the hell you doing giving up such a good one as Japanese raisin tree? You should have let that one run a week or so!

and put up some money for the correct answer!

Ha! If I had actually taken the picture I would have for sure left it up. Anyone can pull one off the web that would be almost impossible to id...

Oh and if I had a k-boom, maybe I could afford to give away money

Keep guessin!

Beside the maples, Catalpa is the only large tree I can come up with at this point with simple opposite leaves. Catalpa speciosa.

[williamd]

DAMM! I was thinkin' that too at one point. Good guess.

 

[robinia]

Alriiiiight!

Tom knows this pic so maybe everyone else can get a chance while he's out of town

 

[JDT3120]

Vitis vinifera LOL!

 

[JDT3120]

My first thought was A. sacharum, but it couldn't be that easy...

 

[robinia]

No, it's not that easy.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm ba-aaack!

 

[JDT3120]

I think I have Tom figured out...

You have access to a program that, somehow, extracts hidden GPS coordinates from the metadata embedded in the pictures. With the known location of the tree, you then use a spy satellite to zoom in on the tree in question to make a positive ID.

Sound about right? Cheater...
