If you were in central Ohio, I'd tell you to go to the USFS lab in Delaware (city in Ohio, not the State). There is a big library of there where, if you can get in, you can take just about anything off the shelf for the keeping. What they have depends on the grant that it was printed with. Some pay for a lot of 'free' copies, others don't.

I will throw one up since it seems we've stalled for a couple days. I run into specific neighborhoods that will have a few of these but for the most part I don't see them too often.

Picea abies


(we are talking about the tree behind the building...right?)

 

[ATH]

That other big one...is that Metasequoia or Taxodium? (it is a conifer...right? - hard to tell with grainy pic, but leaves look to fine to be real leaves)

 

[JD3000]

Front and center by the road and sign. Conifer.

 

[JD3000]

not Picea

 

[ATH]

not Picea

I know the front center isn't...was just taking the easy one in the background

 

[JD3000]

Cmon...easy breezy...with a stone's throw already...

 

[oldoakman]

Cmon...easy breezy...with a stone's throw already...

Abies concolor.

 

[JD3000]

look back at the beginning...and look where it is growing

 

[ATH]

That is why I thought bald cypress...not many other evergreens in Ohio can take those kinds of locations. That would be huge for an Eastern redcedar which would be my next guess.
