Typical TL. Wins one then takes his time posting.

I'm sorry y'all. Life is a little hectic right now. Go ahead and put one up if you got one.

This is a weird one for my area. Here are two angles for you guys

Sassafras!

 

[Waldo]

i guess that one was too easy... I had to look really hard at this guy before i could figure it out.

 

[oldoakman]

TtT beat me to it. That was a gimme.

 

[Waldo]

Sassafrass is even more uncommon up here that that Azara i put up last!

 

[TreeLogic]

that's a pretty good size sassafrass for around here. they grow like weeds here so most people just cut them down. if you can find a small one, pull it up by the root, strip the bark off the root, and it smells just like root beer.

 

[oldoakman]

Wash the roots, peel the bark and make a tea. It is supposed to be a spring tonic that thins the blood from winter. Also a carcinogen from what I'm told, but what isn't anymore.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Ok, here's a new one... Probably on the easy side.

 

[zip215]

its not a Styrax japonicus is it?

 

[Waldo]

S. obassia

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a styrax.

 

[TreeLogic]

black walnut on the left. that is the one we're supposed to ID right?

 

[TreeLogic]

please tell me that's not a forest pansy redbud in the background. if so, that thing is huge!

edit: maybe fagus sylvatica?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Duh, flowering tree in the middle... Shall I hold your hand?

 

[TreeLogic]

sorry tom, i don't hold dudes' hands. but you roll however you want. anyway, just asking about the other trees.
