Liriodendron tulipifera

And thats not you!

Correct B'Bull, Some people call them Tulip Poplars, I dont know anyone that calls them cottonwoods, jim454 did, I think he means Tulip Poplar? - must be area specific, the further south you go the more people call them cottonwoods? these Tulips were located in North Virginia, right next to DC. There's thousands of them around that area, big too. These ones were about 140ft, we were deadwooding them. And fwiw it is me.

Cottonwood is actually Yellow Poplar. Tulip Poplar is a related, but different species.

That was a post from 11 years ago.

Start at this page or perhaps the one before for this game.

And Liriodendron is Magnolaceae and not related to the poplars or its family, Salicaceae.

Good to know. Thank you! I will look into that more closely. And I should probably refrain from using "related" as loosely as I tend to do. Always learning ...

That looks like a post oak.
And some kind of pine that is apparently not a loblolly. I don't understand how people can tell them apart.

Post oak is close, but not it. I posted (did you catch that?) a sand post oak several pages ago, and a white oak from Little Scaly Mountain recently. I have a proposal in to plant another of the same just to the right of this one, and then a Nakita's Gift persimmon to top off the threesome.

Loblolly was a solid guess on the pine, especially with regards to the tone of the trunk. Although the canopy is backlit, its tone may lead to an ID, especially for people who either know me well or are from the southeast. This species should be absolutely iconic in organic-form landscapes. There is a 5" caliper of the same species on the same property that I am offering to transplant into the bed next to the residence, just to the right of this pine and well in the foreground, barely out of view in this picture.

No and nope.

 

[SomethingWitty]

Quercus alba
Pinus elliottii

It just looks so much like a post oak. I was more excited to guess the pine at this point.

Hard part of the season is still ahead of us.

 

[ATH]

if @SomethingWitty doesn't have it with Slash pine, I'll throw out Shortleaf pine - Pinus echinata

And that oak has been a bastard to figure, so I'll go with Quercus austrina
