Trees from a distance

Blue Ash?

I am feeling warm. If it were Fraxinus, I think the limbs would be straighter in such a young tree. That bark certainly looks like Ulmus parvifolia, but the leaves are too large. Zelkova would be more fastigiate. Just thinking out loud here...

I think it's Pistacia atlantica. That's all I got.

Alriiiiight!

I've got tons of them all over campus. I think I could i.d those by smell at this point. Probably not fair.

Here's one to keep the ball rolling:

Sugar maple?

 

[opposablethumb]

Platanus occidentalis

 

[tomthetreeman]

Long weekend, duh.

 

[robinia]

None of those fellas.

 

[mrtree]

what about Quercus rubra (borealis)

 

[tomthetreeman]

Gymnocladus dioicus?

I would but I cannot seem to get photos uploaded.

I have switched to Adobe Lightroom and will see if as I catalogue photos I can upload from the new format.

Did have a very good day in a forest/field of Chinquapin, Red, WHite and Burr Oak along with Sharbark Hickory. The variation in muehlenbergii leaf size and shape was incredible.

Two to i.d in this one...

 

[mrtree]

Acer saccarhum

Sorbus sp.

likely aucuparia (based on fruit colour) but perhaps americana

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll go with G. dioicus and S. aucuparia since sugar maple is already taken.

I just returned from a week on the opposite coast for some rec climbs. Here's one I saw in a major metropolis:

I have no idea (need a clearer image of flowers), maybe on the left a Grevillea and Ormosia as main tree
