Trees from a distance

[Blinky]

Fraxinus pennsylvanica

 

[JeffL]

None of those genus.

I know oaks and beech have a tendancy to hold on to their leaves during dormancy, especially the young trees. I'm gonna guess Quercus, for a guess, not too sure on species though---rubra, or palustris?

 

[JeffL]

You're on the right trail, but no fagus, quercus, acer or fraxinus. The leaves are a good clue though.

 

[utlarb4trees]

Boy! I'm hard pressed for choices--That tree has odd form altogether. Let's try Carpinus (Hornbeam), Only genus I can think of that exhibits marcessence, beside the aforementioned choices. More clues perhaps, buds, scale/bundle scars....

 

[JeffL]

It's non native and in the fagaceae family.

 

[utlarb4trees]

I'm confused, non-native to where: your locale or US?

 

[utlarb4trees]

Lithocarpus? Castanea?

 

[JeffL]

Not native in the united states.

 

[JeffL]

I suppose castanea is close enough!

Chinese chestnut.

 

[utlarb4trees]

That's funny I looked at that tree last night in one of my ID books--however, still would have never guessed it!

Bump:

 

[utlarb4trees]

Gleditsia triacanthos inermis...?????

 

[RGus]

yellowwood

 

[robinia]

No Yellowood
No Honey Locust

 

[utlarb4trees]

Acer....

 

[robinia]

No Acer.
(No wA,cer

) BOO, GROAN.

I'm going to cheat with two guesses, but I'm not confident in either:

Cercis canadensis

Prunus cerasifera
