I think so,

but to be official we need to hear from Xman.

However, if so, I've never won anything before, seriously.
Not a coin toss, not a dice roll not even a Bingo game!
So as silly as it may all seem...
I've very happy right now

YOU GOT IT DIANE. I was hoping you would be the one, since you were the only one to suggest Quince.

PM me your name and mailing address so I can send the $60.00.

 

[trees4ever]

Thank you, Xman.
This was a fun way to start the New Year!

[Waldo]

so who is going to post a new one?

 

[banjo]

I think Xman and his fat pockets should post again.

 

[BostonBull]

i thought winner always posted the new tree?

Too many trees from different users at once, gets way too confusing, IMO.

Yes, this is true,

however,
'this recent winner'

does not have a photo of a tree to post right now
so the floor is open...

 

[theXman]

Oh, then I'm really sorry to have jumped in and posted my tree. Sorry again Waldo.

I was just too eager to post.

This was the first time I came across a Chinese Quince and it took me a few hours to track it down once I saw the tree in person. I was so excited to learn of the new tree I felt the need to post it.

I do think it is way too confusing to have more than one to ID at once.

I'm glad I know the rules now. I didn't come into this game until page 40.

I could post another if you wish, but I'll wait to see if someone else wants a turn first.

There won't be prize money unless I feel it's a REALLY hard one.

Plus my wife probably won't like to hear that I'm giving away money, so I better hold off.

 

[trees4ever]

Hi Everyone,
Just acknowledging that I received the $60 Xman promised to pay to the person who could ID his tree.
After receiving the funds I put them towards a planting of native trees in my local area.
So all around this was a fun and positive way to begin a new and hopefully (for every one of us) plentiful year!
Stay well & be safe.

I agree. Trees from a distance is becoming a charitable organization. Who woulda thunk it.

[theXman]

alright, you guys just waiting for me to put up a money prize again aren't you?

well no prize for this one.

lets do something a little different.

this one is "tree logs from a close distance".

Two pictures. from 2007, Maryland.

 

[theXman]

same log

 

[Waldo]

I'm feeling green ash because of the diamonds i see in the bark pattern. Fraxinus pennsylvannica, possibly white ash (americana).

 

[theXman]

nope.

Now, I'll tell you it's a really easy one, and then you'll name it.

what's in the center?

A chambered pith?

Or I'm I just trying to trick ya?

No lie, it's a common tree here and in PA. Much more common then green ash.

 

[MattyD]

Juglans nigra

 

[easyphloem]

I agree with MattyD.

[willbranch]

Quercus rubra
