Is this thing tropical?

Nope. Native to China, hardy to zone 5.

No, but it is frequently compared to that tree.

Hi Tom,
Long time no Buzz...(for me).

I'll go with Rhus chinensis (Chinese sumac) - possibly 'September Beauty'?


I'd also like to see some photos of snow piles.
It's been up to the 80's here and the trees barely went dormant before the heat came on.....crazy times for sure.

I'm in 'production mode' (for past 6 weeks) and have 3 more weeks to go!
Then I'll get my life back...right?

Hey Diane-

I really don't think you want to see the snow piles, they are black and look like volcanic exhaust. I'll take your weather any day over what we've been having!

The tree is not a Rhus. I thought this one would have been solved by now!

[Frax]

Platycarya strobilacea?

 

[Frax]

Nobody has guessed Fraxinus mandshurica either, although the form and bark doesn't look quite right to me.

 

[tomthetreeman]

it's not a frax, either, frax.
