Trees from a distance

Dat de one Tom! Didn't think it would fool you.

All out Tom...unless youu can add some insight to IDing my 'death bone' tree. Mike thinks Styphnolobium.

I have no better ideas.

See my other post in this Forum.

Thank you Jeff!

Gorgeous trees!

 

[JeffL]

Gorgeous, nope! Not even the right genus!

 

[opposablethumb]

[MikePoor]

Is Mike docked marks for spelling? Or is that the kind of tree that phyllo pastry comes from?

 

[JeffL]

I knew what he meant, close enough! Phellodendron it is!

Just back online after a week down! Nice to see TFAD up and running!

Sorry about spelling.....must have been craving spinach pie or baklava yesterday i saw the largest PHELLODENDRON ive ever seen (the bark on the main trunk was so old that it lost its cork pattern) I will go through photos and attach a new one to i.d.

 

[MikePoor]

Easy one.....if you're in zone 9-10. Weakest wood of ANY thing you will ever climb

 

[robinia]

Haha, for a minute I thought that first photo was the big cork tree you were refering to! Awesome tree, Mike.

I'm a long way from z.9-10

From the bark Ficus and Dracaena come to mind, not so much on the leaves...

btw: Isn't that more cork trees on the left?

 

[robinia]

Did we get an answer?

I got a bunch of pics...
