Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Hard to believe C. mollissima was only introduced 100 years ago ...
Anyway very cool looking tree!

It could be older, I didn't get the exact history of the tree/property. Probably more like mid 1800's, so maybe closer to 200 years.

 

[Treezybreez]

That is pretty neat. It is hard to believe that it is that old.

OK here is a tricky one.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Dawyck Gold beech?

 

[TreeLogic]

Spathodea campanulata

 

[Treezybreez]

Not those. Hint the tree is sub tropical.

 

[TreeLogic]

Is this possibly a fruit or nut tree?

 

[TreeLogic]

Grevillea robusta

 

[Treezybreez]

Wow, I'm impressed Mr. Logic!
Your up.

 

[Treezybreez]

It was neat to learn that it is the largest species of the genus Grevillea.

 

[TreeLogic]

Yeah! The ol' Silky Oak! Never heard of it. But now I'll never forget it!

I'll have something up soon.

 

[Treezybreez]

So, how many hours did you spend looking at pics on google?

 

[TreeLogic]

Actually just a couple of minutes. I have a system you see.

Searched subtropical trees with orange flowers. Viewed all the images. Picked the one that looked most like yours. And voila!

 

[Treezybreez]

I didn't realize subtropical was such a big hint. Anyways, good eye!

 

[TreeLogic]

OK, so I'm slack! Sorry this took so long.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Cornus alternifolia?

 

[TreeLogic]

Very close Mr Tom

 

[tomthetreeman]

C. controversa?

 

[TreeLogic]

Negatory

 

[robinia]

C. florida?

 

[TreeLogic]

yes sir
