Looking down from a distance.

attached.

btw, black cherry extremely common here. That's why I saw those two are black cherry. figured that maybe not common in Nebraska though.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Attachment, sir?

 

[JeffL]

Bueller?

...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....


where's a tree???

 

[robinia]

OK, here's one until Xman gets his modem working again.

 

[MattyD]

Ulmus parvifolia?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Cotinus obovatus?

 

[JeffL]

How about cornus?

 

[robinia]

All good guesses.

D.) None of the above

 

[JeffL]

Malus??

 

[Adkpk]

Ostrya virginiana

 

[tomthetreeman]

Viburnum?

 

[robinia]

No Malus, Ostrya, Viburnum.

It is N. America native, as per requested.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Damn that looks like C. mas or officinalis! Or Cotinus!

Is it a Witch Hazel of some kind?

[robinia]

Not Hamamelis (or Cornus/Cotynus but I see how similar it looks!)

I didn't know this bark got so flaky and patchy but then this is probably the biggest specimen I've seen.

 

[JeffL]

Um....kalmia?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Vaccinium arboreum?

 

[robinia]

No and no.

I'll be back, going to get a beer.

I'll be in bed, I stayed up til midnight watching my Patriots make history last night. From the official site:

"AN NFL FIRST
The Patriots became the first team in NFL history to score a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, a kickoff return for a touchdown, a blocked field goal for a touchdown and return an interception for a touchdown in the same game."
