Trees from a distance

[Treezybreez]

Oops, I just noticed you already said no to Tilia.

Well, since Tom took my second guess as well how about Juglans cinerea?

 

[ginkobalboa]

Not Fagus or Juglans. Pignuts are pretty common around here. Not a Pignut.

 

[pigwot]

Carya illinoinensis

DING DING DING DING....WE HAVE A WINNER!

It is a Pecan. Good job pigwot.

 

[tomthetreeman]

It just dawned on me what it was... Logged on and pigwot got it!

 

[Treezybreez]

I almost said that, but Pecan's in my area look more spread out. That is one of my favorite trees to climb.

Good job Pigwot.

I just got a call this morning to reassess one for a customer south of here, about the farthest north I'd seen a pecan, and it 'rang a bell', so the real winner is my customers Harvey and Janet...

Here's (likely an easy) one... the house got blasted by a falling leader from a Black Oak which also tore into the tree behind Marshall (on the tractor).

Firmiana simplex?

 

[pigwot]

Not Firmiana

I concur.

 

[pigwot]

Correct! You're up... I am in Brooklyn this weekend, keeping an eye out for one a bit less usual.

 

[Adkpk]

Hint, this tree is a wreck not a good form of the very common N. Eastern tree.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Red maple???

 

[Adkpk]

No Tom.

 

[Treezybreez]

Morus alba?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Sugar maple???

 

[Adkpk]

Na and na. This game is to identify trees by their form so, this tree in my diagnosis is lightning struck. So the form has been blown to hell. I do have another angle which I'll post if this gets too drawn out. But the hint which gives away the id is... well just so you know there is something there as slight as it may be.
