Trees from a distance

[williamd]

Black walnut, juglans nigra in the back. p. serotina "was" a good guess for the front.

 

[tomthetreeman]

It is not only a good guess, it's the correct answer!

 

[williamd]

Missed that post. Is that better?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hahahaha! Sorry, I sounded like a bitch! At least I'm half right so far!

 

[robinia]

No hits. Batter up!

 

[tomthetreeman]

My next guess is Q. macrocarpa. I just saw a bazillion of them at the Morton, and they have alot of similar traits.

[robinia]

Good guessing but no.

(I can see the willow and bur oak too!)

 

[tomthetreeman]

Really big sweetgum or sassafras?

 

[williamd]

Good guesses. Sassafras. Why didn't I think of that? That curvy leader into the top left corner looks like it. Shame computers don't have scratch and sniff capabilities yet.

 

[robinia]

Nope.

Another photo would give it away, at least genus. Want it?

One big clue is the fact that it's dead...

Re: ?

I do believe that Holly's got the second half correct! That moss on the bark looks like so many that I have seen!

Re: ?

nope.

Slippery, rubra.

Re: ?

yo if it slippery elm it;s damn near the same tree and WHEN I SEE YOU, YOU GOT A SOCK IN THE EYE.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I guess getting a sock in the eye is better than getting a finger in the eye, or worse. Socks are soft. Hope I 'got' one when you see me, or whatever it is you are trying to say.

U. glabra
