Trees from a distance

[JeffL]

An incredibly well trained honeysuckle?

 

[tomthetreeman]

hahahahahahaha no.

 

[robinia]

Corylus colurna

 

[tomthetreeman]

Close.

 

[robinia]

OK so maybe Corylus heterophylla?

 

[tomthetreeman]

no hetero

 

[Blinky]

I KNEW it!

 

[robinia]

Corylus homophylla ?!?!

or even C. metrophylla?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Very funny. The sexual stuff. Hahahahaha. Wrong. It's too bad you lost your focus. You were doing well, young Jedi.

[robinia]

alright alright. Maybe C. maxima?

all the other hazelnut/filbert/cobnut/cobs I can find sound like multistemed shrubs...

 

[theXman]

right away I thought of Carpinus caroliniana with the foliage and the muscle ripple shape of the trunk. So, I say it's a relative of Carpinus caroliniana, but with shaggy bark.

you guys can google, I don't have time.

you are welcome for the clue.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope, it's got white flaky bark and Robinia was soooo close!

(PS - It doesn't come up when you type the genus into Google!)

-Tom

 

[robinia]

OK, trial and error on google offers up C. wangii and C. ferox.

BUT
is it Corylus × colurnoides ? (C. avellana × C. colurna)

(If so, "close" was an understatement!!)

 

[tomthetreeman]

no, it's not that.

 

[trees4ever]

Corylus jacquemontii

or C. chinensis

That's all that's left after Rob's list.

Oops. I missed this hint.

I shouldn't be on TBuzz right now ....
but...

I wanna play

[trees4ever]

Okay.... one last try-


Hornbeam (Carpinus)

or some Hop Hornbeam (Ostrya) ??

Whatever it is it sure is pretty!



I'm out.



-Diane

 

[robinia]

Ostryopsis!!

 

[mdvaden]

The bark beneath the canopy almost looks like Stewartia.

But the canopy seems much too dense to be that one.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Unless this tree had it's name changed, it's none of those. It is a Corylus, however.
