Trees from a distance

Good Work above Tom! I went back to try to zoom on castenea sign....fail. My old iPad zoom soaks cork. Frax giving us an easy one here....P.acerifolia? Great photos Frax....keep cranking them out!

They are not fun to prune when in full leaf. It's like breathing in insulation.

 

[Frax]

According to signage it is a different Platanus - P x hispanica.

I put it on my Facebook and got the same commenta about what ugly mothers they are to prune. So maybe I'm glad we don't have them out west!

OK. I have one more so far that I can ID. Lots of cool ones I can't.

Tilia cordata? (If not I have a backup guess!)

-Tom

 

[Frax]

Need your back up guess, Tom!

 

[MikePoor]

Alnus cordata.......Italian alder?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Tilia x europaea?

 

[Frax]

Not yet! But close.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Tilia x euchlora???

 

[Frax]

Oooohhh! Stumped Tom, did I???!!!

Well, making him guess a bit anyway. According to signage...not guessed yet!

But it is a Tilia.

 

[tomthetreeman]

tomentosa???

 

[Frax]

nooooo

 

[tomthetreeman]

At this point, I am just guessing Lindens. Unless it is vulgaris, which is the same as europaea. So since that would not count as a guess, I will also throw out 'Petiolaris.'

-Tom

 

[Frax]

I had a suspicion...and checked for name variations...

MY DEEPEST AND MOST HUMBLE APOLOGIES...

Tilia pallida (on the sign) is essentially what you previously guessed ..Tilia x europeaea 'Pallida'

awesome tree spotting!

 

[tomthetreeman]

No biggie, nomenclature is a bee-otch. Thanks for keeping the thread alive!

-Tom

 

[Frax]

OK

Last one. Maybe its easy. It is quite distinctive.
