Trees from a distance

[robinia]

Not Hamamelis

 

[JeffL]

Betula lenta

 

[robinia]

Not Betula.

 

[theXman]

ulmus specie? I don't know which one.

 

[robinia]

Not Ulmus.
Keep 'em coming!

 

[theXman]

was that a hint? some other kind of lenta?

 

[trees4ever]

Maybe some Cornus...like C.capitata?


Although,I'm not sure it would be up in your neck-of-the-woods



-Diane

 

[robinia]

Not Cornus. And not some other lenta - no hints dropped yet.

No hits on family yet either.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Styrax?

 

[JeffL]

Ok fine, prunus spp?

 

[robinia]

Not Styrax, not Prunus.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Salix nigra?

 

[robinia]

Not Salix.

This is a tough one for clues without giving it away...
How about:
If you get family you've got it.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Bladdernut? (Staphylea trifolia)

 

[robinia]

Not Staphylea.

Good guessing though Tom!
Nice to see you have to work for it.

 

[tomthetreeman]

My next guess...

American fern-leaved corkwood walkingstick-hoptree

Bam!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Or a Camphor-lyptus buddleastrobiensusbush. Yeah, that's it. Common name is Dagwood.

 

[robinia]

Close.

Actually I'm willing to bet this tree has not appeared in TFAD before.

 

[trees4ever]

I'm willing to bet you Tom won't be sleeping tonight trying to figure this one out!

[trees4ever]

What about Sapium japonicum (Japanese Tallow tree)?
