Trees from a distance

[robinia]

No Katsura.

This one could be tricky, at least it would have been for me.

 

[treeness]

Laburnum anagyroides?

 

[robinia]

No Laburnum.

This one is in the Phyllanthaceae, where I recognise almost nothing.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Phyllanthus niruri? Total guess off wikipedia lol.

 

[robinia]

Nope.

It has two botanic names, one recently changed. I had a hard time even finding out a common name.

 

[robinia]

Alright, that one seems DOA. Maybe a bit too obscure. I know I'd never heard of it before, but really cool tree.

It was labeled Securinega suffruticosa, but is now called Flueggea suffruticosa.

How about this one instead:

 

[tomthetreeman]

Ummm, Cladrastis?

 

[robinia]

No Cladrastis.

Carya codiformis?

 

[robinia]

No Carya.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Juglans cinerea?

 

[robinia]

close.

 

[tomthetreeman]

J. regia???

 

[robinia]

closer... geographically.

 

[tomthetreeman]

The only other Juglans I know is nigra. I don't see how that makes Persian closer than Butternut. But whatever, it's my last guess. This thread has lost it's luster. Why? It was my favorite, now it's like a funeral home... Waaaah!

[robinia]

Oh well. It was a fun game while it lasted.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Oh, I guess I did know another walnut. oops.

 

[robinia]
