Trees from a distance

Apricot?

 

[TNTree_man]

Dang Tom, I thought you went to sleep or something. That's it.
Prunus mume, Japanese flowering apricot. Another one that provides an occasional snack.
These are a must have for the winter garden. Definitely one of my top picks.

Juglans cinerea?

 

[tomthetreeman]

nope, nyet. I'm outta here to work soon, so I'll check back later. I will probabaly hafta throw in a clue at that point, considering the pic.

[Blinky]

Prunus cerasifera

 

[Trip]

Juglans nigra?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope, but good guess. Juglans nigra, I mean!

Clue:

This tree likes swampy situations

 

[BostonBull]

Acer rubrum

 

[trees4ever]

Catalpa ?

[tomthetreeman]

No... swampy is the clue. BB is on a track of sorts.

Are you sure it wasn't a Carya illinoinensis?

[tomthetreeman]

Yes, I am certain. Nor was it a P. cerasifera.

Thanks EZ - I needed a laugh. I've been working all weekend (not complaining) but it's been long days.
AND my guess of a Catalpa was because these trees are very water resistant (often used for fence posts) and Tom's clue mentioned "swamp" so that's why I went with that tree...
I was tired....
