Trees from a distance

[trees4ever]

Wow, on Robinia's tree I passed over Butternut because I thought he indicated his tree was in the legume family. My error.

Oh well, this is what I get for trying to check in after work - fatigue definitely affects the brain.

I'm going to bow out for awhile, but I'll be back!

Thanks for the fun!

That's ridiculous. I've never seen a Butternut that looked anything like an Elm in my estimation. So no, I don't feel any better. Especially with this Antarctica crap now.

Just let me know when you need a clue Tom.

 

[tomthetreeman]

That's cold. Especially toward someone who once ruled this thread. I'm like a friggin T-Rex now.

 

[Treezybreez]

Sorry Tom, I just couldn't take you criticizing my photo album without a little retaliation.

This tree is not from the US or Canada so if you want me to pick a different tree I can. I just thought it would be fun to spice things up a little bit with something from Central America.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Is it a type of Acacia???

 

[Symbioun]

It's not a lychee fruit tree is it?

 

[Treezybreez]

Not Acacia, not lychee.

 

[Treezybreez]

The tree has purple flowers.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Chorisia speciosus?

 

[Treezybreez]

Not Chorisia speciosa. The tree has no thorns.

 

[Treezybreez]

Here is a big clue: the tree is native to Southern Mexico and Guatemala.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'm familiar with a few dozen trees and plants from the Yucatan, but not this one.

Gliricidia Sepium ?

 

[Treezybreez]

It's not Gliricidia Sepium.

Since everyone has given up I will post a new tree. This should be easier. Tree at center of Pic.

 

[robinia]

Yes, I gave up. Sorry. That one was just way out of my range.

That rock looks like a sculpture of a fat woman's torso!

 

[Treezybreez]

No problem Robina, It took me a while to figure it out.

There fixed the fat woman's torso well cover. Any other complaints? No I am not going to move the power lines.

 

[Treezybreez]

They even have a Graemlin for that.

Catalpa bignonioides

 

[Treezybreez]

Very close
