Trees from a distance

[easyphloem]

Is that a Hawthorne?

SZ

 

[Waldo]

No to both.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I thought hawthorn, too... Is it a maackia?

 

[Waldo]

Nope.

 

[Waldo]

This tree's wood is very dense. Native Americans used to make fishing hooks from the wood.

 

[tomthetreeman]

It's a longshot, doesn't look all that much like the ones I've seen, but... Maclura?

 

[Waldo]

Not Osage orange. No thorns on this tree.

 

[Treezybreez]

Ostrya virginiana?

 

[Waldo]

Not ostrya. This tree has very lovely flowers.

 

[easyphloem]

Star magnolia?

SZ

 

[Waldo]

Not magnolia.

 

[easyphloem]

I know, that was a horrible guess.

SZ

 

[Treezybreez]

I know, that was a horrible guess.

SZ

No, that was a special guess from a special person.

 

[Waldo]

This tree is a PNW native.

 

[Treetopflyer]

Cornus nattallii

 

[Waldo]

Good job treetop!

 

[Waldo]

That is even a small specimen for a pacific dogwood.

 

[Treetopflyer]

No hints too easy

 

[Waldo]

Looks like a flowering cherry. Maybe P. serrulatta

 

[tomthetreeman]

If not that, perhaps crabapple?
