Trees from a distance

[Waldo]

Pinus banksiana the jack pine

I'm going with rigida, too. And Aesculus on the avatar.

My gut says to agree with Pitch pine but what fun would that be.

Pinus thunbergii. Japanese black pine.

 

[banjo]

Arborer, where are you from and why is there a 3 on the tree to the left??

 

[arborer]

Pitch pine is correct. That was too easy. I'm not sure what the 3 in the photo represents. This photo was taken in RI at Ell pond. Probably the coolest woods in the whole tiny state. I'll spill the beans on my avatar because that was unintentionally added. There are no good clues in the photo. It is a scarlet oak. The photo was taken on the same day, at the same place. What appears to be opposite bud formation is where last year's terminal bud cluster was. The center bud didn't survive, leaving 2 almost opposite remaining shoots.
I guess Thillmaine. is up.

Good job tomtree. I didn't think you were crazy

 

[TNTree_man]

Tom, you might just be "Da Man".

 

[banjo]

Arborer, I knew those woods looked real familiar. Do you live in RI? Seems like good ol' Rhody is finally being represented on the Buzz.

So, I'll just say the common, Fagus grandifolia.

[theXman]

come on Grover, if ya going to play, you best answer.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Maybe you've never seen one that big, but that's what they look like... Look at the 'staghorn' twigs... It's a longshot, but it's my guess!
