Trees from a distance

[JD3000]

Much closer.

 

[ATH]

Acer nigrum

I can't pick out any opposite branching, but since A. platanoides was "much closer" we'll give it another stab.

 

[JD3000]

No...

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

A. saccharum? Usually pretty rounded when left in a wide open space like this.

 

[JD3000]

Yep. Unusual form but it's a sugar.

Sorry guys. I know I'm up, but I've been dealing with storm damage and snow removal. We can't seem to catch a break here on the East Coast. I will post a picture tomorrow if no one else has.

 

[JD3000]

Take your time and be safe. I'll have a good one monday if need be.

@ThatsNotMaple I'm jumping in here...

 

[ThatsNotMaple]

@JD3000 Quite alright. I'm running on fumes right now, lots of 14 hour days. This week looks like the light at the end of the tunnel. I will take a wild stab and say Aesculus hippocastanum. Why? General shape I guess, can't really see anything else in the picture.

 

[JD3000]

Nope.

I kinda figured you've been bustin ass of late.

Under-utilized species here.

 

[JD3000]

And Aesculus hippo. is usually more upright to even conical usually.

And Aesculus hippo. is usually more upright to even conical usually.

I always thought they had a more umbrella shape in the open. We don't have them around here really. I swear I will take another shot tomorrow.

sophora japonica?

sophora japonica?

I'll accept that, name has changed though.
Didn't think it would go that fast.

 

[ATH]

Kinda funny...i got the uncommon one first try but not the sugar maple that I have probably see over a million times walking through woodlands loaded with them. I'll see what I have or snap a new one today...

 

[ATH]

Latest "tree from a distance" photo I have. Too rainy to get a good one today. Gotta take some to be ready if I'm gonna be a playa down here.

This one is slated for ODOT's chipper as part of a road widening project. They offered $2000. It appraised slightly different than that...

Q. bicolor

Not quite...
