Trees from a distance

[JeffL]

Its a palm tree!!

 

[robinia]

Hey this is TREES from a distance, not MONOCOTS from a distance!

 

[JeffL]

You mean like, "Lawns from a distance"?

 

[RGus]

I thought I would mix it up a bit and give a break to any southerners playing. I will see if I can come up with another picture of a real tree.

 

[robinia]

Are you just going to accept "palm tree" as an answer?!?
I'll bite even tho I don't know nothin' bout palms:

Phoenix dactylifera? (first one I came across in Google!)

 

[RGus]

I wasnt accepting palm tree as an answer, I was just going to put a real tree up instead. I will let the non-tree ride.

Not Phoenix.

Do you want a hint?

 

[robinia]

I for one will need all the help I can get.
Yes please on the clue!

" I got my tree in a box "

Hint: The car maker Mercury makes a model that shares the same name as this palm.

MattyD, I was thinking of that same song when I wrote that.

 

[JeffL]

Sabal palm!

Thx google.com ;-)

 

[RGus]

There you go.

I will make sure to stick with real trees from here on out!

 

[JeffL]

I'll have a good one up later this morning, providing the ice didn't rip it apart last night

Are those marcescent leaves in the lower portion of the tree? Or from the young tree next to tree in question?

 

[JeffL]

Both!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Acer spicatum?

 

[JeffL]

Noop.

 

[Waldo]

acer campestre.

 

[JeffL]

No acer.

 

[robinia]

Quercus robur?
