[oldoakman]

Gymnocladus dioicus

 

[Treezybreez]

Robina pseudoacacia?

 

[Waldo]

Old oak you are killing it right now. You better get some pictures to post up

 

[Treezybreez]

Had a bad feeling Old Q. was going to sleep well tonight.

 

[oldoakman]

That one was a gimmie with the bark and seed pods. I've been trying to get some to try in zone 8a but our tree broker can't find any close enough to us. Again, I got nothing to post. Someone post a real stumper, make us all think.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Argh! No notifications again, I missed all this! Dagnabit!

 

[tomthetreeman]

Here's one for your turkey day.

 

[Treezybreez]

Davidia involucrata? Thanks Tom

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, but it's a similar tree in size, value and relative obscurity.

 

[Treezybreez]

Laburnum anagyroides?

 

[robinia]

Looks like Syringa.
S. reticulata subsp. amurensis?

my turkey day was a month ago.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not those, but good guesses!

 

[Waldo]

Shoot tom that is a tough one. Styphnolobium?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, Treezy's guess is the closest, species name is phonetically really close!

 

[robinia]

Viburnum!

 

[tomthetreeman]

No sir. Legend has it that Kim Jong Il cut down 100 of these with his bare hands in just one hour. Right after he hit 18 holes-in-one.

[tomthetreeman]

So it's Korean...

 

[Treezybreez]

Cornus kousa?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope. I was being more literal. Korean is part of the common name, Davidia sort of rhymes with the other part. I can do no more for youze guys.
