Trees from a distance

[Treezybreez]

Not Podocarpus.

That was just a lucky run.

still counts.

 

[TreeLogic]

Olneya tesota

 

[tomthetreeman]

Pinus pinea?

For the record, I hold no such record!

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

Pinus sylvestris

 

[Treezybreez]

It is a Pine, but none of those.

 

[tomthetreeman]

resinosa?

 

[TreeLogic]

Pinus monophylla

 

[Treezybreez]

Negative.

This tree is pretty rare.

 

[TreeLogic]

Pinus longaeva

 

[Treezybreez]

Not a Bristlecone.

Hint: There is a popular beach in CA named after this Pine.

 

[BRT]

Pinus torreyana--pretty rare from what I read about it.

 

[Treezybreez]

Pinus torreyana--pretty rare from what I read about it.

That is the one. I had no idea how rare they supposedly are.

 

[TreeLogic]

Torrey Pines....some good golf played around those parts, no?

 

[Treezybreez]

Probably, I only know the beach. What is interesting to me, is that the pines grow larger in cultivation than in the wild. Most likly an issue of water.

 

[BRT]

Something like 7000 of them... Yea, heard of Torrey Pines all my life-- the golf course. Never knew it was a pine tree.

Okay, here is your next id:

 

[TreeLogic]

Well that looks like Quercus virginiana to me...

 

[Treezybreez]

I'll go with Quercus nigra?

 

[BRT]

virginiana it is...planted right on the edge of the lawn next to an apartment complex--they aren't all that old, but they do look to be healthy and vibrant.

 

[TreeLogic]

I have family in Virginia Beach so I've seen a few live oaks up there in parts of VA. We have some big daddys here in Charleston.

I'll get something up in a bit.

Sorry, forgot about this...
