Trees from a distance

good job on the fraxinus pennsylvanica.

but just name the special 'stupid' variety.

I've been noticing these ash were a little different. Seem to be planted in 15 to 25 year old developments.

leaflets margin more toothed. grow really fast. (my own details, not from literature)

seem to grow too fast for their own good. Well, the foliage and lengths anyway.

thin limbs with heavy foliage, break apart.

This tree is another sucky variety.

I want to post a question on another catagory on the buzz to ask how well do growth regulators work. because if they do, this tree might be a good candidate. It is NOT building up diameter strength! Limbs are aweful.

i was taking pictures of this tree because i wanted to ID the specie or variety. Then the customer knew part of the common name variety and quickly narrowed it down for me.
 
Hi Tom,
The tree looks a little structurally-challenged - what's happening with it? Too much shade?

I'll guess - Cercidiphyllum japonicum - Katsura tree

Interesting tree.
My first thought was Acer griseum, except not so much with the leaves, or even form.
Also thought Syringa pekinensis but:

Frax is "warm" with Chionanthus virginicus, so next logical guess is C. retusus??
 
So Robinia, are you talking to yourself???

It seems Tom has gone missing....


Oh well, whatever tree it is, I say give it more light and correct that one lateral on the left, now, while it's still young.

Sorry, I was away for a few days... Frax was EXTREMELY warm but did not get the species. Nice job, Rob. Shall we say, low hanging fruit LOL? And yes, the tree is a little codom challenged, but I just planted it and am waiting to subordinate the left lead. :)
