Trees from a distance

[theXman]

not any deodara.

cypress family though.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Thuja plicata 'pendula'

 

[robinia]

Is this a nomenclature screw-up?

Callitropsis?

 

[Starlet]

looks like a turkish filbert is it?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Starlet, welcome back!

The tree I posted was a Corylus fargesii at Morton Arboretum...

We're onto some evergreen now, that I think may have an identity crisis. I will get a good laugh if Robinia is right. Xman's always dissin' me!

[theXman]

I don't think so.

This tree is from East Asia.

I think of most evergreens with this name as small ground speading species.

I'm loving this. This tree is giving me a stiffy.

 

[theXman]

no thuja.

[robinia]

Juniperus recurva var. coxii

 

[tomthetreeman]

Yeah! Juniper! That's it!

 

[theXman]

now you are getting close!

the clue is in my weirdness.

not quite the right one yet.

 

[cuttenwolf]

chamaecyparis pisifera

 

[tomthetreeman]

Juniperus rigida 'pendula'

Talk about an oxymoron!

 

[theXman]

ha ha, out of the darkness comes cuttenwolf to the game!

no brotha, it's a Juniper. Sniff on that trail. The clue is there....

If no one gets it tomorrow morning, I'm giving the answer and posting a new one.

yeah buddy, now you got it.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP SO LATE ANYWAY???

Stiff leaved juniper.

I always mix in clues on the hard ones. I'm not weird.

Tree needles were pretty cool up close, I couldn't believe it, looked juniper up close.

attachment is proof

 

[theXman]

I've got a couple more really cool ones. I'll have to try and win some more so I can post again.

 

[tomthetreeman]

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!!

You can have my turn, this is a good game and I have a big day tomorrow!

PS - I knew there was a clue in there somewhere!

-Tom

 

[theXman]

Lets not do another hard evergreen yet. (even though I really want to show it, I think it's better to mix it up for the good of the game).

I then pass it on to cuttenwolf to post a picture.

Go Bob.

 

[theXman]

alright, the heck with cuttenwolf then.

here is evergreen number two!

 

[MattyD]

Cool tree. Im wondering why it was cutt back like that? I have no Idea, A blue White Pine?
