Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

OK, next...

 

[jon427]

Aesculus glabra

 

[TreeLogic]

Aesculus hippocastanum

 

[tomthetreeman]

TreeLogic got it! Too easy!

Better than the last one. BTW, I really do like Quercus bicolor. One of my favorite oaks...as is Q alba.

I'll find a pic in a few.

 

[TreeLogic]

Change up...and I will need the unique cultivar.

 

[jon427]

Acer palmatum "Hanami Nishiki" probably not even close but that's my guess

 

[TreeLogic]

The Acer Palmatum part is correct. This one is more of the cutleaf variety than Hanami Nishiki. Good guess though.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Well, I believe it's 'dissectum,' but getting the actual cultivar could be tough... I can look them up later...

 

[TreeLogic]

Yes sir, dissectum. Learning the cultivars will be good for you, no?

 

[GrahamS]

looks alot like the Viridis that is in front of my porch....next to a Bloodgood

 

[TreeLogic]

Bam! Viridis it is!

Gets crazy orange in the fall...

 

[GrahamS]

Yeah, this winter was tough on mine, has a bit of tip dieback but hopefully it comes back. I will get something up tomorrow after work at the latest.

 

[GrahamS]

ok i.d. the clump of trees

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll start the bidding with Parrotia persica.

 

[GrahamS]

good guess, this is a younger clump of trees and this species has a much larger potential mature size then parrotia

 

[TreeLogic]

Acer saccharum

 

[tomthetreeman]

Parrotia will grow to 45'... So these must be full sized shade trees... Are they Valley Forge elms? The orange says no, but other looks say yes.

 

[GrahamS]

Well I guess mature size would be close to that, like 50-60 ft max. I really didn't know Parrotia would get that tall, never seen one taller then 20 ft or so, so excuse my ignorance on that one. They are not Acer, or Ulmus genus, but are native much of the eastern part of the country.

 

[TreeLogic]

Carpinus betulus
