Trees from a distance

[Symbioun]

No it's not an Alnus. I think you're on the right track through.

 

[Symbioun]

I didn't kill this thread did I? For the sake of keeping things moving I'll give a hint. You're most likely to find this tree along the Pacific coast. So anyone from out west should be familiar with this species.

 

[robinia]

I'm stumped here, especially now knowing it's a west coast tree...

I can't even tell for sure if it's alternate branching or not. Some twigs look almost whorled, a bit like Phellodendron amurense.

I'm gonna guess Acer macrophyllum?

 

[Symbioun]

You're on fire! Unfortunately it was winter when I took the picture and all of the leaves had fallen. I think the leaf would have been a sure give away. Excellent guess.

tree:

 

[adolan]

Acer saccharum?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Cladrastis for sure.

 

[robinia]

No Acer and no Cladrastis.

Nice guesses tho.

 

[tomthetreeman]

If that is a Callery Pear, I am coming up there to Canada and poking you in the eye!

LOL. That's too funny.
Could it be Juglans nigra?

 

[robinia]

Juglans is close.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Is it Carya glabra?

 

[robinia]

Even closer.

 

[tomthetreeman]

bitternut?

 

[robinia]

Yes! Bitternut. I forgot this one was still up. Whatcha got Tom?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I was avoiding it because I don't know if I have anything! Let me see............

OK, here ya go...

 

[Thillmaine]

Neither of those...

 

[robinia]

maybe Acer japonicum?

Scratch that. I think I see compound leaves.

Maackia?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, no...
