Trees from a distance

[tomthetreeman]

OOOH! OOOH MY TURN!!!

 

[theXman]

yeah, your lucky you posted so fast.

Black Gum?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, but good guess.

 

[easyphloem]

Amelanchier spp?


SZ

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope, not a shad-service-blow-berry.

 

[TNTree_man]

Let's see....street tree....many small twigs on limbs....
Is it a Quercus phellos, Willow Oak?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nope... And actually, it's in a very wide boulevard with forest-ish conditions.

[easyphloem]

It's a Hackberry. God, it's so simple.


SZ

 

[tomthetreeman]

It is not a Hackberry.

 

[TNTree_man]

It doesn't look like it to me, but how about
Oxydendron arboreum?
Too twiggy right?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not an Oxydendron. Nor is it an Oxymoron.

 

[trees4ever]

How about Cercis (Redbud)?

-Diane-

 

[tomthetreeman]

Nyet.

 

[trees4ever]

A Carpinus??

Hey, Tom, how do you make the upside-down question marks???

type 0191 while holding the ALT key. Here's a link:

There are other ways too, but this is the only way I know. Doesn't work on a laptop unless you have a separate number board.

Not a Carpinus, but another good guess.

Thanks for the Spanish-letter link, though.

[arborer]

Styrax japonicus perhaps?

 

[tomthetreeman]

no, not a Styrax. Look closer.

-Tom

 

[JeffL]

Lacebark elm?

 

[tomthetreeman]

No, excellent guess. Look closely at the twig ends, this pic was taken back in early March.
