Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Sorry, I edited my post when I looked into native range of C. illinoiensis. So it's neither of those I take it?

 

[surfarmer1]

Carya cordiformis ?

 

[MisterSir]

No, not Carya sp.

 

[robinia]

I'm way out of my climate on this one...

Looks like a cool tree tho.

 

[surfarmer1]

Rhus

 

[MisterSir]

Not Rhus. It's a native here in Florida, occurring naturally along the edges of lowlands and swamps. A large understory tree.

 

[surfarmer1]

Asimina triloba...aka Pawpaw?

 

[MisterSir]

No

 

[trees4ever]

Is it Mahogany ( Swietenia mahagoni)?
Perhaps a young tree where the bark hasn't fissured yet.

[robinia]

Eucalyptus?

(guessed from way up north - excuse my ignorance

)

 

[robinia]

 

[MisterSir]

No and no. Think of something sweet.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Persimmon?

 

[trees4ever]

Sugarberry! (Celtis laevigata) - BAM!

YES!!! Cigars for everyone!

 

[trees4ever]

Yea! Finally! That was a good one, MS.

Okay, so here's a trio of trees in 'veteran' status.
This was taken late Fall. They are amazing at Springtime flowering.

[MisterSir]

Tabebuia?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Chionanthus retusus?

 

[robinia]

Prunus serrulata?

 

[trees4ever]

No
No
No, although, Robinia's guess could be considered 'luke-warm'

...... but only in regard to springtime flower color
because some varieties of P. serrulata have deeper shades of that one particular color....

BTW MS - that guess definitely shows you're from Florida!
Flower color is close, though, as well.
