Picea orientalis..... final answer.

I've only seen them planted so far as ornamentals, so havent had the chance to see any really big ones. Unsure of their mature growth habit.

But this was also my next guess. Literally, I'm just guessing.

You, sir, are correct. This little sucker (45' or so) was masquerading as a juvenile Norway to me for years until I actually walked over to it an took a closer look. It is indeed P. orientalis. Narrower, more compact, different branch spacing, shorter needles, and smaller cones. TNTreeman is now much more familiar with his conifers, though!

Arborer or Waldo... Next?

A stressed out, chlorotic Cercis canadensis?

[TNTree_man]

I'll try a stressed out, chlorotic Cornus florida for grins.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Kinda looks like a hophornbeam a little, too. (Ostrya virginiana).

[MattyD]

No but good guesses. It lookes like all three of those. I personally made the picture a little smaller. The picture isn't very good.

I changed my mind... Ulmus procera?

You can't change your mind, that would make you a flip-flopper.

A stressed out, chlorotic Catalpa speciosa

You forgot 'stressed out, chlorotic'.

 

[Blinky]

...and hipposomething should not be capitalized.

Alright then... I said Corylus colurna, but it just can't be. So I deleted it and went with the Ulmus guess.

HaHa you got it Blinky. Heres a close up.

 

[Blinky]

Alright, I've got one. I need to go shoot a pic. Back in an hour.
