Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Sweetgum?

 

[Treezybreez]

Quercus rubra ?

 

[robinia]

No Sweetgum, no oak.

 

[MisterSir]

I'm thinking Carya spp.???

 

[Treezybreez]

How about Fraxinus americana ?

 

[tomthetreeman]

How 'bout Celtis occidentalis? There's something about the bark that tells me I should know this tree, but it's just a little too far away...

 

[robinia]

None of those.
Nice guessing folks.

That's why it's called Trees From A Distance, Tom!

I'll guess blue beech (Carpinus caroliniana)

[tomthetreeman]

I knew you would take the bait! hahaha!

I'll guess Quercus coccinea.

 

[Treezybreez]

OK, this is kind of a long shot but, Ulmus americana

By the way Tom he already said no Oaks.

Robina, you might need to give us a clue soon.

 

[robinia]

no Ulmus
no Quercus
no Carpinus (Up here at least Carpinus would never get anywhere near that size!)

There has been hits on family.

Well, one never knows with all that 'extra' phosphorus in the soil of cemeteries ...


Okay, I'll guess Pagoda tree ( Sophora japonica)



-Diane

Walnut

Not a legume, Diane...

I think I know it. I think it's Ulmus rubra, Slippery Elm.

BAM!

-Tom

 

[robinia]

No Ulmus Tom.

There is a CLOSE guess...

 

[Treezybreez]

Butternut, juglans cinerea ?

That's the one! Nice round everyone.

 

[Treezybreez]

That was a tough one Robina.

To make Tom feel better I found a description in "The Sibley Guide to Trees" that states,"Pale trunk forks into bouquet-shape like some elms".

I'm looking for a pic.

 

[Treezybreez]

OK, here are some close up pictures of a young tree. Trust me, you will need close ups. Tree
