Trees from a distance

[JD3000]

Alright @robinia time for arboretum pics

 

[robinia]

Sorry for the delay. I’m totally unreliable.

 

[JD3000]

Yes we're always disappointed by your super easy TFADs...
Looks quercus like in habit

 

[robinia]

No Quercus!

 

[oldoakman]

Nyssa

 

[JD3000]

I thought so too, leaves are pretty glossy.

 

[robinia]

No Nyssa

 

[JD3000]

Tilia?

 

[robinia]

Nope, no Tilia.

Genus alone will be good here I think. The species seemed pretty obscure to me.

 

[JD3000]

Arrrrrrrrr....

 

[JD3000]

Ulmus?

 

[robinia]

No Ulmus

 

[JD3000]

Ok, lets see what we've got here.

Looks like smaller, glossy, and simple alternate leaves and the the younger branches and twigs look pretty fine.

Any hints? Tough one...

 

[RopeShield]

Carpinus

 

[Waldo]

that is looking like a Swedish whitebeam to me. Sorbus intermedia

 

[ATH]

Not Sassafras is it?

 

[robinia]

No Ulmus. LMK if clues are required

 

[robinia]

No Sorbus or Sassafras

 

[robinia]

Ropeshield is closest...
