Last time I checked, Ash were native.

Not F. excelsior, and it's invasive.

If that's Phellodendron it's the biggest I've ever seen.

DINGDINGDINGDING!!!!

Sorry for the confusion, guys. After some thought I realized that a tree can be both native and invasive (see eastern red cedar).

Anyway, this is Phellodendron amurense, and the small tree in front is a 'seedling.' We just held the NETCC down in Goddard Park, RI, and the planted Phellodendron there have escaped into the woods by the thousands.

Geez Robinia! Competing against you and Tom is like playing Jeopardy against Alex Trebek! You guys know your stuff.

Here's one:

 

[TreeLogic]

man it looks cold there. was that yesterday?

BTW, that's not fair. it's bad enough you guys post everything leafless. now snow covered?

sycamore?

 

[Adkpk]

Magnolia x soulangeana

Even though I doubt one could grow that far north.

 

[robinia]

No to those.

The photo was from February. Believe it or not its really green and warm up here! And we have lots of Magnolias, just not nearly the size of the tree in the photo.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not exactly the typical form, but something is telling me U. rubra.

-Tom

 

[TreeLogic]

Quercus rubra

 

[robinia]

Neither of those.

This one has always struck me as not-the-usual-form, but thats probably not much of a clue.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Norway Maple???

 

[Adkpk]

Sugar maple

OK, name the shrubby thing in the foreground.

 

[TreeLogic]

Prunus laurocerasus

 

[tomthetreeman]

Oooh, good guess. But no.
