Trees from a distance

[SomethingWitty]

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

I just learned something!
It definitely is a bastard white oak, even if that's not the species. We don't quite have them here.

I had to look up "oaks of Florida" to come up with that one...I think swamp chestnut oak is a better guess, but that is a better answer

Canopy doesn't fit for swamp chesty

Q. chapmanii

 

[colb]

Quercus alba
Pinus elliottii

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

Not alba.

The elliottii around here have bright orange trunks. This one is closer to loblolly - dark, matte...

@ATH is really close on the pine. To be honest, I cannot yet reliably identify this one from a shortleaf, so this is a "habitat" identification for me.

You guessed the oak correct. To me, it does tend to be more bendy and irregular than the swamp chestnut oak. You're up unless folks want to stay on the pine.

Hard to distinguish from Shortleaf has to be Pitch pine...right?

Eh. Post one!

Not gonna find one here in Ohio. I'm going back 20 years to when I had southern pines in dendro! That is just what I thought of when "looks like Shortleaf".

Naw, man. A tree. It's been weeks since we got a fresh one.
Please don't post a pine. They just look like pines.



It is definitely impressive to remember that sort of tree trivia for two decades. I guess it's okay to find out if you're right. Lol

 

[ATH]

I'll get one tomorrow... starting the day on a timber sale, so may get interesting.

It's not pitch pine. Might be better to switch to Latin names. I almost wonder if shortleaf used to be the same species. I don't have a deep time background in dendro... I'll give you the genus if you need a hint.

It's really weird how under the radar it is. It's clearly the thunbergii of north america, to me.

 

[oldoakman]

I was thinking short leaf but was concentrating on the oak

 

[ATH]

I know shortleaf as P. echinata and Pitch as P. rigida

This P. hybridizes with echinata.

This P. hybridizes with echinata.

But not P. taeda?

While we work on the bonus points for the pine, this should be easy... the big (still standing) trunk.

There should be bonus points for figuring out any of these from a tiny little phone

Eastern cottonwood?

Trunk is so straight for a cottonwood, isn't it? Looks suitable otherwise though.

Liriodendron tulipifera?
