Trees from a distance

That is why I thought I could sneak that pic in. It still has the typical Pecan shape though.

 

[oldoakman]

Wasn't a guess, that thing is in your face a pecan. We have huge ones like that in the historic district along the river here. I'll have to dig for a pic to post.

 

[oldoakman]

OK Boys and Girls. Had to get HO permission to post this and it took a while to contact.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I will start the bidding with Halesia monticola.

[TreeLogic]

Prunus serotina

 

[oldoakman]

Nein und nein!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Betula lenta? I think I'm on to something here...

 

[oldoakman]

Not that one either. Wish it was, I love having a truckload of those chips.

 

[jon427]

locust

 

[tomthetreeman]

Well, I'd swear I'm seeing catkins, so I'll go with Ostrya virginiana.

-Tom

 

[oldoakman]

None of those either.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Prunus padus?

 

[TreeLogic]

Juglans nigra?

 

[oldoakman]

None of those either. Need a hint yet?

 

[Treezybreez]

Any chance it could be Acer nigrum?

 

[TreeLogic]

Triadica sebifera

Affirmative on the hint...

 

[oldoakman]

And we have a winner. Tree Logic gets the gold. There is also a huge PI vine on this thing. It is the largest I have seen and is really quiet pretty.

 

[TreeLogic]

Ha ha that was a shot in the dark. Dang it, now I gotta find a pic.

No such thing as a pretty poison ivy vine...in my allergic opinion. And that tree is highly invasive. Cut it down!

 

[TreeLogic]

Ok, tree left of bldg.

 

[Treezybreez]

Nice guess there TL. I'll start out with Betula Papyrifera?
