JD I quickly glanced and misread your post "Alnus" when I made my last post. Thought you said something different. My mistake.

 

[JD3000]

Doesnt bother me a bit.

 

[ATH]

Yep. Black alder seem to be multistemmed and not so straight...but I can't imagine it is red. Need leaves to separate them, right? I just don't see enough to know...and didn't spend more than a couple of minutes looking.

 

[JD3000]

Cool.

Someone else is welcome to put one up now.

 

[oldoakman]

Try this one.

 

[ATH]

Castanea?

 

[JD3000]

Bark looks kind of smooth?

Cladrastis?

 

[oldoakman]

Nein und nein. This one is an unusually large one for the species, at least of the ones I have seen.

 

[JD3000]

C. kousa?

 

[oldoakman]

Not cornus

 

[JD3000]

I think I'm seeing smooth pretty bark...Parrotia?

 

[oldoakman]

Not that one either. Look closely at the location.

 

[JD3000]

[oldoakman]

That would be correct.

 

[JD3000]

Grumble grumble mumble.

 

[ATH]

Its a volunteer then?

That would be correct.
