Trees from a distance

[dylanclimbs]

That picture is from Summerland, but there are lots of London Planes here too. I am often surprised by what will grow here. Some areas of the valley are zone 6.

It was deltoides.

We've got plenty of plane trees here in zone 4, alot of them seem to be frost cracked but otherwise unphased.

Next!

Ok. Nobody is stepping up with another.

So I offer you a true challenge.

Identify all four trees below, from left to right:
1.
2.
3.
4.

If you can do it, I'll give you four high-5's, for FREE!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Red Maple

Red Oak

White Ash

White Pine

#4 is correct. One high-5 for you.

A hint on #2 is that it has bad fireblight, which is one reason why it's so dark in the picture.

 

[robinia]

1. Liquidambar?

2. Pyrus something?

3. Gleditsia?

4. what Tom said.

 

[tomthetreeman]

#1 Freeman maple

My second guess on #2 was Callery Pear.

I'll go with R. pseudoacacia on 3.

 

[opposablethumb]

#1 - Tom got the right genus
#2 - yes, Pyrus...something
#3 - I'm ashamed of you Rob...this one was for you.
#4 - done

So you're saying I got it right?

 

[opposablethumb]

Good man, Tom...I think we were posting at the same time.

You got them all.

Not sure of the cultivar on the A. x freemanii.
I'm pretty sure the Callery Pear is an 'Aristocrat' or 'Capital'. It has more of a dominant leader but gets absolutely rocked by fireblight, unlike the 90+ 'Bradfords' that we have all over the rest of campus.

...cause I didn't read the answer above.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Actually, Rob got the Pyrus, I was just thinking it, but Oak was my first guess. 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Here's one that should be pretty easy:

 

[SWClark]

ASH????

 

[tomthetreeman]

There are lots of kinds of ash...

Care to venture a guess as to species?

btw, welcome to the buzz!!!!
