Trees from a distance

[TreeLogic]

Nay

 

[tomthetreeman]

Ostrya virginiana?

 

[TreeLogic]

No sir. Let me know if more hints are needed.

 

[oldoakman]

Ahhh! another Chinese Tallow tree. I osted a big one in the winter. Very invasive, but kinda neat IMO.

 

[TreeLogic]

You're up oldoakman.

Sapium sebiferum or Triadica sebifera (Chinese Tallow)
AKA "Popcorn tree" around these parts

They are neat trees. That seems to be a common trait with some invasives.

 

[oldoakman]

Yeah, I like them too. In Savannah and on Tybee Island they have a major effort ongoing to eradicate them.

Here we go, the pride of downtown Columbus GA.

 

[TreeLogic]

Sugar maple?

 

[Treezybreez]

Quercus Virginia?

 

[oldoakman]

I wish we could grow Sugar Maples that looked like that here. Not virginiana.

 

[TreeLogic]

Love the hole in the crown...

How about Quercus laurifolia

 

[oldoakman]

Yeah, I just noticed the hole there today. Once my paw heals up so IU can climb again I need to investigate it a little closer. Not laurifolia but soooo close.

 

[TreeLogic]

Q nigra?

 

[oldoakman]

Colder now. This one has a very narrow native range.

 

[TreeLogic]

Not phellos is it?

 

[oldoakman]

No. I have one of those I will throw in sometime too, besides, phellos doesn't fit the clue above.

 

[TreeLogic]

Quercus douglasii

 

[oldoakman]

Not that either. I did see examples of them a few years ago when I was in California and visited Sequoia NP. They cover the foothills going into the park. This ones native range is SE USA.

 

[Treezybreez]

Quercus hemisphaerica?
