Trees from a distance

[oldoakman]

OK gentlemen, try this one. The site is a historic cemetary and the trees were donated by a local tree advocate. They were planted in mid April about 4 years ago at the beginning of a very hot, dry summer. We lost several, but the remaining are beginning to get a good hold. A hint, not native to this area.

 

[TreeLogic]

I'm probably wrong but the first and most obvious choice would be Leyland Cypress.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Metasequoia?

 

[Treezybreez]

Tsuga canadensis?

 

[BRT]

Abies fraseri?

 

[oldoakman]

Nope and Nope. And nope and nope. Tsuga would never survive here in the open full sun, neither would Abies.

 

[TreeLogic]

Sequoia sempervirens

 

[Treezybreez]

Well, I missed your clue at first. How about Cedrus deodara?

 

[BRT]

Juniperus silicicola?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Argh, Treezy, that was my next guess.

 

[oldoakman]

Well Tom Treezy is still wrong but close. That should be a giveaway.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hmmm... Cedrus libani then! A nice full one!

 

[Treezybreez]

If Tom happens to be wrong then how about Cedrus atlantica?

 

[TreeLogic]

Cedrus deodora?

I think I just got oldoaks' hint.

 

[oldoakman]

Tom got it! Way to go. I hope I'm around in 30 or 40 years to see what they look like then.

 

[TreeLogic]

I thought you were denying treezy on a spelling error. My bad.

 

[Treezybreez]

I thought you were denying treezy on a spelling error. My bad.

What spelling error?

 

[TreeLogic]

What spelling error?

Ha ha. Cedrus dedara. Before you edited it.

 

[Treezybreez]

I will blame it on my new phone; I can't seem to press the correct keys.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Happy Birthday to me! I'll get one up asap!
