Trees from a distance

[Treezybreez]

Buxus?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Breezy gets it. It's about a 23' Boxwood!

 

[TreeLogic]

Nice! You should carve some shapes in that baby Tom

Get 'em Treezy.

 

[Treezybreez]

Nice!

Alright, how about this beauty? My wife and child are in the pic too.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Twiggy Norway Spruce? (There IS such a thing!)

 

[Treezybreez]

I don't know about the Twiggy part, but it is a Norway Spruce. I guess it was too easy.

Another 30 years or so and that one will be ready for Rockefeller Center.

 

[Treezybreez]

What is going on with the Rockefeller Center? I Goggled it but nothing tree related came up.

 

[robinia]

Picea omorika?
No, scratch that.
I'm bad with weird conifers...

 

[oldoakman]

The Christmas tree they erect in Rockefeller Center every year is a Norway Spruce. They pay a big finders fee and bring in their own crews to cut wrap and transport to NY. They specify a Norway spruce. When I lived up north, I was always on the lookout for a good specimen for them, never got one though.

Another 30 years or so and we might get a new TFAD tree up. Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Too much going on to play tonight, fellas. Anybody got one, put it up. If not I'll get one as soon as I can. (Have to email over from iPad, download, resize, blahblahblah...)

Another 30 years or so and that one will be ready for Rockefeller Center.

BTW Tom, I was joking about oldoak's post above. Take your time....nobody plays TFAD anymore anyway.

 

[tomthetreeman]

FINE!!!

 

[TreeLogic]

Wow! Ginkgo?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Yeah, I figured it would be easy but man, what a tree! 6-8' DBH, depending... A real monster.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I have another if you'd like.

 

[TreeLogic]

Have at it brother. I was stressing that I was going to have to find something.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Irony is the main clue with this one...
