Trees from a distance

[TreeLogic]

Wish I knew my non natives better...

How about Tipu tree?

 

[Treezybreez]

My favorite nut Macadamia.

 

[TreeLogic]

Treezy, you call yourself a Southerner? I figured you for a roasted, salted pecan kinda guy.

 

[jeffswede]

I actually thought this would be easy. Real easy for so-cal and arizona.
Do you need another hint??
Bolivia.

You got it!

 

[Treezybreez]

Nice! good job TL. I have family from San Diego so I have picked Macadamias from their trees.

I didn't see that bark pic till later.

 

[TreeLogic]

OK, I know this one will go quick. Left of the lightpost.

Treezy, I honestly thought you had that last one.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Liriodendron tulipifera!

 

[TreeLogic]

Your turn, Tom!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Extra credit for wildlife ID!

 

[TreeLogic]

Hickory and owl...

 

[tomthetreeman]

No and yes... Can you name the owl? He's a little guy.

 

[TreeLogic]

Pygmy....and sweet gum

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nono... He has a spooky song, a little bit like a loon.

 

[TreeLogic]

Screech owl...pecan?

 

[Treezybreez]

Juglans cinerea? and Spectacled owl?

Correct on the owl, tree is still not guessed. Note the copious deadwood in the trunk.

 

[TreeLogic]

Hard to tell what's dead or not but the twigs/tips look familiar to me. Quercus rubra?

 

[Treezybreez]

Ulmus rubra?

 

[tomthetreeman]

The trunk with the owl in it is about 60% dead/decayed, but the canopy of the tree is relatively healthy. Which is why I said 'copious deadwood in the trunk.' I don't know too many other trees that can stand up with the level of trunk decay that these trees do. It's a common Northeast tree, hardly ever planted, mostly a volunteer. If no one gets it soon, I'll give it to TL for the owl guess.
