Trees from a distance

[JD3000]

Prodigy.

That one's a rare cultivar that's even slower but I don't recall the name.

Back to you.

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Yeah, prodigy who only today mis-identified a sassafras as a chestnut oak. No leaves, but still.

I'm heading out in a second, I will snap a picture on my way home from the store.

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

I will start with an easy one. This little guy will need some subordination, but overall the form is nice. Popular curbside in Southern New Jersey, but doesn't fare too well so close to the street.

 

[JD3000]

A. saccharum?

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Lay-up for JD, I may need to travel outside of my neighborhood to get more interesting ones.

 

[JD3000]

They no likey salt nor pollution.

Someone feel free to post another.

[robinia]

Should be easy.
I can't figure out how to make pics smaller with a phone!

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Z. serrata?

 

[robinia]

Z. serrata?

Absolutely!

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Someone else can go. I'm laid up and don't have any pictures in my phone.

 

[JD3000]

There should be a crop feature somewhere on the touch screen. Easy with Droids, don't know about Apple

 

[JD3000]

Easy one. Foreground holding onto leaves.

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Q. imbricaria

 

[JD3000]

Not bad but no.

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Hmmm... Marescent, bark looks a little dark but maybe F. grandifola or sylvatica.

 

[JD3000]

Closer the first time. Bark is immature in the pic.

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

Man I was so sure with shingle oak. I know Q. velutina and palustris are both generally marescent, but I can't remember many others. You say easy, I say trick question.

 

[JD3000]

Branching habit is important here. Stays upright for the most part.

 

[JD3000]

Leaves larger than an imbricaria too
