Trees from a distance

[Waldo]

Nope

 

[Waldo]

This tree is very fashionable.

 

[GShogren]

I guess a Lombardy is sort of fashionable. Sure looks like a poplar.

 

[Waldo]

Sure isnt a poplar

 

[Waldo]

There is some discussion as to what family it is in. Similar to the dogwoods the showy part of the flower is actually bracts.

 

[GShogren]

Tilia tomentosa

 

[Waldo]

Nay.

 

[GShogren]

Davidia involucrata?

 

[Waldo]

Yup

 

[tomthetreeman]

Weird looking Davidia.

 

[Waldo]

nah, thats just how they look when they are young.

 

[GShogren]

Davidia x Populus

Ok GShogren now comes the part where you post a pic for us to identify. I'm not trying to be a b*tch- I'm just trying to learn......I likes this thread!

I've got a really good one but my tree ID skills have not escaped my own region yet.

 

[LimbLoppa]

My tree I'd skills haven't escaped a coloring book yet! That's why I love this thread!

 

[GShogren]

Took me awhile last fall to figure this one out.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Syringa reticulata!

 

[GShogren]

Started blooming last week, normally May-June. Later here in the northern edge of its range.

 

[GShogren]

Not syringa. Compound leaf.
