Trees from a distance

[ginkobalboa]

How about a Corktree?

 

[robinia]

Catalpa? Maybe C. ovata?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Halesia!

 

[Treezybreez]

No one has guessed the Family yet.

 

[Treezybreez]

Leaves are supposed to mature to approximately six and a half inches long.

 

[TreeLogic]

Magnolia family?

 

[Treezybreez]

Nope

 

[Treezybreez]

This tree does not typically escape from cultivation. Although it does have a few American cousins.

 

[robinia]

Paulownia?

...leaves are probably too small.

 

[Treezybreez]

No, sorry Robina guess again.

You guys are over thinking this one.

 

[Treezybreez]

Zones 4-8

 

[Treezybreez]

Planting 2 or more helps with pollination. Some of you may have noticed that in the fist pic there is a tree that looks just like it to the right. The tree to the right is the tree in the second pic.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Castanea sp?

 

[Treezybreez]

Close enough Tom. I believe it to be Castanea mollissima. But that is hard to tell since there are many different hybrids.

 

[Treezybreez]

Good guessing everyone. Here is a close up for your enjoyment.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Wow, cool. I have a client with a European version that looks very close to the ones you posted. The Chinese can get pretty large, I have seen trees easily 45 X 60. I'll post up asap.

[tomthetreeman]

OK, here's one...

 

[Treezybreez]

Celtis laevigata?

 

[robinia]

Ailanthus?

 

[Treezybreez]

Well, I am heading on a trip to Kentucky so maybe I can get some interesting tree pic on the way.

Later, Caleb
