Trees from a distance

[theXman]

needles look long i think, i not so sure with the multiple trunks, but i'll say it anyway; Loblolly Pine.

I'll try to help...

There's this field with some fuzzy, indistinct, tree-like structures in the distant background. They kinda look like a Pine-oak (Pinus quercus) or an Oak-pine (Quercus pinus). The picture is very large.

Does that help?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Oh, that must be Qercidiphylloides bumbellicium... The native swamp-needled laurel-oak! Right?

 

[MattyD]

Thats tough. Thoughs multiple leaders throw you off.
Pinus rigida?

 

[trees4ever]

I think Matt is right because Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) can vary in its structural form quite a lot.

Blinky and Tom - you guys are great - very creative

YOU ARE CORRECT

they are massive and multi truck - i was able to climb them both - they are about 18 foot circumference and are about 60 years old - there use to be a third one. and they formed a triangle

 

[theXman]

Alright.

Here is one, well, one picture, several in one if ya want.

#1 is the grand prize though.

Others are easier and not worth as much.

I numbered on the picture.

If a background tree repeated, I repeated the number too.

 

[theXman]

oh yeah, and #5 is a plant, but not a tree. It's the filler between the trees.

 

[theXman]

I'll give a close-up picture of number one's bark and buds if no one gets it for a little while. I've got the picture ready to go.

 

[BayouClimber]

number 1 is a pecan?

 

[theXman]

no, but thanks for going after the important one.

[easyphloem]

#1 Sawtooth Oak?

#2 White Pine

#3 Norway Spruce

#4 Arborvitae

#5 Bamboo

[tomthetreeman]

Same as EZ, except Green Ash for #1. I have another guess, but I'll save it for when I am wrong!

[banjo]

Green Ash was gonna be my guess too. I get to see quite a few of them thanks to Tom.

 

[MoTreeBeard]

#1 bur oak
2 white pine
3 norway spruce
4 arborvitae

No sireebob, you don't! I took over the program in 2003 and have not planted one Green Ash since. Zero. Those were under the previous program peeps, who didn't see the lilac borer coming.

Are you going to help out on Saturday???

-Tom

 

[MattyD]

Go with ez on all but #1.
It looks like on some places its opposite.
But those Oak leaves still hanging around say differently
My Gut says Juglans nigra. HaHa dont ask
