Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

I'm not even going to guess. GB nailed it I think!

Wow that was fast! I guess it is appropriate that GB guessed it. How common is this tree up there? I never see them that size around here.

 

[ginkobalboa]

They are very common around here. Check out the one I posted on the "I Love This Tree" thread (on page 2). They are great urban trees. Excellent air cleaners and tough trees in general.

I'll take a picture of something to post today.

 

[Treezybreez]

I took a look at the Ginkgo tree you posted and was impressed by it's size.

Ginkgo was first introduced here in the U.S. by William Hamilton in 1784. I had no idea that it has been around that long.

I took some cuttings from a small Ginkgo tree that a friend gave me and all of them took.

 

[ginkobalboa]

Here's a good one. This is one of my favorite trees. I'll put it on the "I Love This Tree" thread after someone guesses what it is. Good luck!

There's a lot of distance with this one. I'll start giving hints if necessary.

The one in the foreground is, but I'm referring to the one behind the playground, in the middle of the photo.

T. cordata?

Ha! So was I.

Here it is again for this page. Hint #1: The tree is in Louisville, KY, a native region border according to the info I can find.

No Sir, not a Tilia.

 

[tomthetreeman]

A. saccharum?

 

[RopeShield]

prunus serotina

 

[ginkobalboa]

not acer or prunus.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Q. palustris?

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

Ulmas pumila?

 

[ginkobalboa]

not Quercus or Ulmus. This tree is not as common around here. This particular specimen has about a 42" dbh.

 

[pigwot]

Seems it is my only guess last time and this, ...probably wrong, as bark color looks too dark, branch structure could be correct for it, and leaf distribution might be right:

Is it Fagus?

 

[Treezybreez]

Tilia petiolaris?

 

[tomthetreeman]

?Pignut Hickory?
