Trees from a distance

[oldoakman]

Next up.

 

[Waldo]

Saphora japonica

 

[oldoakman]

No to Sophora.

 

[GShogren]

Liriodendron

 

[tomthetreeman]

Tilia cordata?

 

[oldoakman]

Took it is. Very atypical form. Awesome tree. Located at Pittsburgh zoo.

 

[Waldo]

so, did tom get it right?

 

[oldoakman]

Tom is correct. Sorry for the confusion. Stupid autocorrect! Took should be Tilia.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Sweet! Here is a cultivar of a common tree here in the NE, VERY atypical form. Good luck! I'll check back tonight!

 

[Waldo]

Star magnolia

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, much more common native. Like I said, this is a VERY atypical form!

 

[Waldo]

Red maple?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nay.

 

[robinia]

I think I remember this one.
Posted before?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope, you are thinking of the sycamore maple from cuttyhunk island. This is not that.

 

[GShogren]

Liquidambar styraciflua?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No sir. Much more common native in the northeast. This is a cultivar with some fall color.

 

[oldoakman]

Sugar maple.

 

[tomthetreeman]

No sir. Also looking for cultivar if possible. This was a popular street tree for a little while for the fall color, but in hindsight was not a good idea. If I give any more clues it's gonna be too much.

 

[Waldo]

Flowering pear. Cultivar 'falls apart and smells like fish farts'
