Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

Q. robur. English Oak!

 

[oldoakman]

Tom finally got it. I was surprised to stumble on this one. Have passed it numerous times without noticing it. Tom, you are up.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I kept thinking it was native when you said it was 'in my range.' Got me!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Correctly ID this pair of evergreens.

 

[CutHighnLetFly]

pinus cembra

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, although the one on the right closely resembles it. This is a two-fer. Two different trees.

 

[Treezybreez]

Pinus resinosa and Pinus strobus?

 

[tomthetreeman]

You've got one of them (still need cultivar), but not the other.

 

[oldoakman]

Pinus strobus var. "Fastigiata" and Pinus nigra

 

[Waldo]

Pinus echinata

 

[tomthetreeman]

OOM is one for two! The other one closely resembles P. Cembra, but is from farther east. And has a similar common name as #1.

 

[TreeLogic]

banksiana?

 

[oldoakman]

Oooo you dirty dog!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nay.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Evergreens always seem to kill this thread. I gave a damn good clue on the last guess, come on fellas!

 

[TreeLogic]

Pinus armandii

 

[oldoakman]

Pinus parviflora

 

[TreeLogic]

I think you researched better than me oldoak. Got a feeling you got it.

 

[oldoakman]

Let's hope so. I hate these to toofers.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Bingo! OOM is up!
