Trees from a distance

[JeffL]

Nope again!

 

[robinia]

Sciadopitys verticillata

 

[JeffL]

Mr. Black Locust got it.

I climbed it a few years back for some dead wood, what a pain in the butt! Branch spacing is super tight.

Out spraying the neighbors today, got a pic. Some of the low limbs are actually reiterations forming off surface roots! Cool!

 

[robinia]

Wow, lucky guess. Just came across it in a book and it looked similar... Never heard of it before!

Have you got another TFAD?

 

[Frax]

I'm glad you said that Robinia. You were beginning to scare me!

What book?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I've never seen a 'bonsai' one like that! Cool!

Here are two (same sp) for your guessing pleasure.

 

[robinia]

Those look so familiar but I can't place it. GRRRR.

Zanthozylum comes to mind...

Looks really prickly?

 

[Frax]

Elaeagnus angustifolia?

[JeffL]

Some sort of prunus?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Is that some sort of guess?

 

[JeffL]

Im indecisively unsure?

 

[robinia]

Prunus cerasifera?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Much less common, Rob. I looked for one at a few nurseries last week and they were like 'What?'

 

[utlarb4trees]

Prickly? European buckthorn...
