No Acer, no Ulmus.

V crotches, multistemmed at the trunk, that's a katsurra. Put a few cables in a big quad stem 80'er just yesterday.

Yessssssss!

I have a new digicam I've been carrying in my lunchbox, but been too busy to bother taking any pics, someone can jump in.

This is a really tough one. I incorrectly ID'd it at first, until I spoke with the former manager of Roger Williams Park, who gave me the correct ID. Good luck.

How the f did you guess that? Wow, nice job!!! I thought it was S. giganteum at first, but fortunately I ran into the man who planted the tree the same night, and he gave me the correct ID. Which is pretty incredibly coincidental, actually.

[theXman]

wow good job Adkpk.

do you want to post, if not, I'll put up a new one.

 

[guymayor]

Incense cedars tough trees; i put a guy wire in a leaner ~18 years ago at UNC. It's at the Coker Arboretum, or at least I hope it is!

 

[Blinky]

Awesome that he's still in the same place to enjoy the tree he planted... how long ago?
