Trees from a distance

A really big Mimosa?

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

If there is any confusion, it's the tree over the silver car. Similar in form and looks to a carya, but tend to have a wider more sprawling canopy. Can get real big.

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

Not a mimosa tom

 

[tomthetreeman]

You're losing me here... Hickories are strongly upright trees... Your tree looks more like a beech than a hickory.

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

then ignore the hickory comparison because its neither a hickory or a beech. it produces a large nut. feeling like im giving it away now

 

[oldoakman]

English or Carpathian walnut

Hickories are strongly upright trees...

pecan is a Carya too...

 

[TreeLogic]

i'll go with Juglans nigra since oldoakman left that one out

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

oldoakman has got the genus

 

[TreeLogic]

butternut?

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

thats a bingo

 

[TreeLogic]

well that's a big one. i'll try to get something up tomorrow.

Nice tree Andre! TL, we don't have pecans up here, so Carya is hickory LOL!

Good point...

Here we go...codom in the background

Sweet gum, the weed of the south.

 

[TreeLogic]

just realized we're at 500 pgs. woohoo!
not a liquidambar, oldquercus, though this pic certainly resembles one. and true, sweet gum is definitely a weed of the south. as is triadica

 

[oldoakman]

I like triadica. Has an interesting leaf form like katsura. Figured you would post a pecan so tt would know what it looks like second guess here is tulip poplar.

 

[TreeLogic]

2nd guess correct. liriodendron

See if I can upload a photo.
