Trees from a distance

[oldoakman]

No but I've been planting them and am impressed with how they shine in the heat and lack of water.

With the heat we have been having here this year i should try them out. 100 yesterday and today and 23%humidity.

 

[JD3000]

Ugh. Heat broke here today, 66 degrees.

No on alder though.

 

[colb]

Acer?

 

[oldoakman]

It's about time for a hint isn't it?

 

[JD3000]

Ornamental, not shade tree. Often pretty bark.

 

[Serf Life]

Heptacodium?

 

[ATH]

Stewartia?

 

[JD3000]

No and no

 

[oldoakman]

Paperbark Maple

 

[ATH]

It is not crepe myrtle? I wouldn't expect it to live that long in central OH...

 

[oldoakman]

If it is a crape I'll turn in my tree guy card. Form doesn't look right but who knows, JD can be a sneaky bastard

 

[JD3000]

Pics are from Cbus so no and no.

We don't see them up here...every now and then somebody will plant one but it doesn't make it through the winters. I didn't really think that was a good guess, but a shot. Leaves look pretty plane. I honestly don't know what they would look like if left grow without hedge trimmers!

Cotinus?
We're just throwing out names at this point, right?

 

[ATH]

I love lamp!

 

[Jonny]

Magnolia?

 

[JD3000]

This one had far more trunks and height than any other I've seen.

 

[JeffGu]

Is that one of those Lilac bushes you started inside the containment wall at Three Mile Island?

 

[JD3000]

No...but but you scratched the surface with that one...

 

[ATH]

Chionanthus
