Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Then you put something up Tom, since you're obviously the moderator. Can you see the bark of that tree? The form? The branch structure?

Maybe try a screen bigger than your smartphone.

Yikes, I guess humor doesn't come through in text!

Sorry Tom, but humor doesn't work when you ALWAYS complain about the TFAD trees. Pines are no good, Japanese Maples have too many specific cultivars, but exotics from all over the world somehow do just fine.

Is there a list of rules somewhere for this game?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Oh, stuff it!

 

[CreTree]

Thanks for the ID Tom. That was my thought, but I haven't seen one here in person.

 

[Treezybreez]

Wow, I come back from a trip out West and there hasn't been much activity on this thread. I have plenty of pics now.

 

[TreeLogic]

Salix nigra

 

[Treezybreez]

Not that. Think arid

 

[oldoakman]

olive of some type.

 

[Treezybreez]

Not Olive

 

[Derrek]

Tamarix?

 

[Treezybreez]

Keep guessing. It has a yellow blossom.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Palo Verde.

 

[TreeLogic]

How about Mesquite?

 

[Treezybreez]

Looks like TL got it. It is Honey Mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa)

 

[Treezybreez]

Here is a close up just for kicks.

 

[TreeLogic]

Kind of has an Acacia look to it, Treezy. Good cooking/smoking wood.

Here's a new one. The big pale-green-leaf tree next to the garage.

 

[Treezybreez]

Leaves look compound to me, Juglans nigra?

 

[TreeLogic]

close...

 

[Treezybreez]

My neck is getting a crook, Carya illinoinensis?

 

[TreeLogic]

is it showing up sideways? sorry...straight on my computer...but the icon is sideways.

anyways, doesn't matter because pecan it is. good call Treez...
