good eye tom, yes, on the original picture i posted, there was one pod on the left side that i saw and wondered if anyone would see it. cool!

posting again unless someone beats me to it.
 
alright, the posting of some pollarded trees a few back made me think of these and pull them out.

this will be hard (i think) unless someone finds a way to cheat.

i will post 4 pictures of these pollarded trees.

all the same trees.

Tilia?

Boston bull is back in the game!

tilia cordata

now that you know you were right, what clues did you see?
 
Pic #1 the bark at base of tree was signature Tilia, though your warning that we may never get it right was alarming and threw me off. Then when I opened pic #2, those are classic Tilia sucker growth. I felt pretty confident, I deal with these trees too often! Grover had a post a while back of a tilia from pretty far away. I got that from the root/trunk suckers that engulf these species......how do these specimens do with the trunk suckers?

Nice work BTW, is that your art?
 
I have a huge Tilia in my back yard that is the result of 50 year old trunk-sucker growth, probably after storm damage or removal. About 6 major stems between 12 and 20" DBH. Rare but interesting. I'll post a pic when I can.
