Trees from a distance

[jeffswede]

Are there alder's in the background? Not a mulberry, huh?

 

[pigwot]

Large tree in background looks like a cherry?
Tree in question a Linden?
Student in foreground appears to be the female of Homo sapien...

 

[tomthetreeman]

Good guesses, but none of the above! I'm glad you think my wife looks young enough to be a student!

ha...A personal favorite of mine, try to get as many of them as I can planted as street trees at work. Pretty limited nursery availability most of the time though. I will try and get something up in the morning.

Very cool tree. If I ever see one at the nursery I will buy and plant some for sure. Thanks, Tom.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I used to do exactly the same, Graham. I'd get like 5 a year if I was lucky out of 500 trees we would plant. Great tree! There's a fancier one called C. fargesii with exfoliating bark, too.

[GrahamS]

Ok, hears one, tree at the corner of the white house and the one behind the deck both the same species.

 

[TreeLogic]

Lagerstroemia indica

 

[Adkpk]

You couldn't of got further back? And what he said. Crape myrtle.

 

[Treezybreez]

Prunus lusitanica?

 

[GrahamS]

Nobodys got it yet, this isn't something you would plant these are both volunteers probably planted by birds

 

[TreeLogic]

Prunus caroliniana...

 

[tomthetreeman]

Autumn olive? (E. umbellata)

That house has a severe shortage of windows!
