Trees from a distance

[theXman]

this peice of crap has a very full crown by the way and leans toward a house.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll start the bidding with Norway Maple.

 

[theXman]

bingo, root girdling so bad it killed the tissue

 

[tomthetreeman]

Somebody else can go, I'm all out of photos.

 

[robinia]

well if no one else is stepping up...

here's one:

 

[Dan_Watkins]

Acer saccharum?

 

[theXman]

the crown looks like sugar maple, but that wide flared trunk base and the bark seems to be smooth.

for the trunk flare and bark, I'm going to say Chinese Elm.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Carpinus caroliniana!

 

[robinia]

None of the above.

 

[JeffL]

acer rubrum

 

[robinia]

sorry Jeff, no Acer.

 

[theXman]

the biggest Kousa I've ever seen

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hawthorn? Washington perhaps?

 

[robinia]

No Cornus, no Crataegus.

 

[Dan_Watkins]

Cladrastis kentukea?

 

[robinia]

Not Cladrastis.

 

[MattyD]

Damn nice pic! how about Tilia cordata?

 

[upontrees]

Zelkova?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Eucommia ulmoides! Bam!

 

[robinia]

Sorry, no hits yet.
One of Tom's guesses was getting warm.
