Weeping callistemon

 

[Treezybreez]

I wondered if you would chime in Mr. Logic.

Not callistemon, you are over thinking this one.

I will admit I had no idea that a weeping version of this tree existed.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Weeping Nyssa?

 

[TreeLogic]

Weeping Taxodium distichum?

If so, I think I got your "bald" hint.

 

[Treezybreez]

You got it TL.

I wondered how long that pun would go unnoticed.

 

[Adkpk]

I'm surprised. The leaves looked deciduous from here.

 

[Treezybreez]

Bald Cypress is diciduous, or can be anyways.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I feel stupid, I didn't see the compound leaf hint or the bald clue. Duh.

Seems i read somewhere that's why they call it bald...cause it loses it's hair in the winter.

I'll get a pic up in a little bit.

 

[TreeLogic]

OK, here's one...

 

[TreeLogic]

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia on Bald Cypress...

"The leaves are borne on deciduous branchlets that are spirally arranged on the stem, but twisted at the base to lie in two horizontal ranks, 1–2 cm long and 1–2 mm broad; unlike most other species in the family Cupressaceae, it is deciduous, losing its leaves in the winter months, hence the name 'bald'."

 

[tomthetreeman]

Butternut?

 

[TreeLogic]

Nope, not Butternut.
