No, it's not some gay named tree.

It's nothing odd or rare either.

It's a very common citris tree.

you guys just arent' saying any common names.
 
I think it is just the C. aurantifolia, like I said in my first post. Do you guys think it is not? I have seen many of these in the tropics and MX, and I'm willing to bet it's the common lime.

ha ha.

Diane got it.

Grapefruit.

the old woman took some seeds out of a grapefruit she ate and planted them. one grew a tree.

i never knew that many citris had such nasty thorns until a few years ago. we don't have many citris that can grow in Maryland. I didn't think any could until about 5 years ago.

On the subject of citris in this area:

I do have some kind of "mock-lime" or something, that I found twice in my life. I dug up some saplings under the parent trees. Planted some in pots and also on the islands on our pond. They are very green twig, plastic looking actually, with huge green thorns. mature tree/bush has hard citis like little oranges. Resembles this grapefruits upper twigs.

good job Diane, once again.
 
I almost said "Watch it be the one I didn't name" LOL! Figures! OK, here's one for ya:

This may be easy for some of you from way down South. This tree is in Cozumel, MX,

Xman, those sound like Poncirus trifoliata. Mock-orange I think. Back to the thead, too many southern trees recently. Let's see some for the rest of us!!!
 
hey tom,

i recently learned this too; you can't post unless you got an ID right.

it's Diane's turn.

but anyway, is it a ficus?
 
arborer,

i searched it in google images, looks that that is 100% it.

thanks! now I know what it is.

says it's so cold hardy, it could grow as far north as Maine!
 
Can I get a pass since I at least got the Citrus sp. part right LOL?

Not a beech.

Not a ficus.

Clue: It has long been considered a culturally important and sacred tree in the Caribbean and Central America. Cities have been named after it. It has at least four common names, I'll take any one of them, or the latin.

actually the common name for Poncirus trifoliata: trifoliate orange, Japanese bitter orange, or hardy Japanese orange.

Mock-orange would be Philadelphus coronarius.

But anyway.
 
You, sir, are CORRECT!

Ceiba pentandra, aka

Silk Cotton Tree
