Trees from a distance

[oldoakman]

Water oaks can be trash trees. Affected with hypxolon they dry out and break and pruning them is worse than a northern pin oak. Someone else post though, I'm still under the weather. 4 days now and I still feel like crap. I'm beginning to wonder if I got a touch of listeria.

I had something like that earlier this year. Very flu-like, though I tested negative for it. Was down and out for about 5 days with a 102 fever and aching like a sonofabitch. Had some stomach issues too.

Let's go Oceans!

Yeah! We don't care if you don't know the tree. We'll figure it out!

Alright, if you guys are sure you don't mind figuring it out together. This one has me stumped. I'm pretty sure I have the Genus but the specific epithet has me in a round about. I'll get some close up photos right quick tomorrow.

Here goes...

Looks like butternut to me.

Juglans ailantifolia

Interesting! Says naturalized in MA and can hybridize with butternut!

 

[oceans]

Interesting. I'm going with Warthaug and Tom, simultaneously. I think it has hybridized, but not sure. Some close ups will help and I will get those today.

The taxonomy differs on these two sites. A bit odd...

Here's one that I can't ID.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Close up.

 

[TreeLogic]

Gaultheria shallon?

 

[TreeLogic]

OK, that last one wasn't it but I got it now Tom. Ready?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Yep.

The suspense is killing me...

In the meantime I am going to post my guess -

Caltcanthus floridus?

Sweetshrub Carolina Allspice

 

[tomthetreeman]

It looks like red twigged dogwood, but if so, it's an oddball variety.

 

[tomthetreeman]

That's it, John!

 

[TreeLogic]

IDK, I'm 2nd guessing myself now...
How about Pinckneya brachteata?

 

[TreeLogic]

Damn John! Nice!

 

[oceans]

Ha! I've been waiting for Dirr's Guide to download this whole morning. I wanted to get a guess in. You guys are good. Nice, John.
