Trees from a distance

[BostonBull]

Yes Jeff, that tree, along with most other around here are N. Maple. Crap trees, that one you pointed out is a crimson king.

And youre wrong again.

I will take closer photos if noone gets it tomorrow. You will all kick yourselves when the species is revealed.

It's an Ulmus!

Zelkova serrata?

 

[BostonBull]

so far not even the right family, nevermind correct genus.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Hickory (pignut, shellbark?).

You didn't say if the leaves were compound or simple, so is it possible we are talking about leaf-lets? Let's!

Carya glabra!

Good work Tom!!

I have several more like this in my area. When the wife gets back from FL with my camera ill post some harder ones

 

[tomthetreeman]

Alright, then! Without further ado, I would like to use one of my seventy-three turns that I have saved up!

This is the only photo I have of this tree, so I will give one hint:

This tree is just a bit South of it's supposed southernmost hardiness zone.

White Pine?

 

[easyphloem]

Eastern Hemlock.

Tom - this tree doesn't look very happy. Xman's Yew didn't look happy either. All of BB's trees have been topped. Maybe we should rename this thread "The unhappy trees".....

I go with Eastern hemlock as well BUT since EZ got it in before me I'll concede to him

black spruce

 

[HÖLLENREICH]

pinius woh gives a fookius

 

[JeffL]

Pinus resinosa

 

[tomthetreeman]

This tree is growing in a wooded area with mostly deciduous trees around it, and it is relatively healthy, despite the look from the photo. It is also none of the above guesses, I believe all of those trees' ranges extend well South of RI. This tree, according to some, is not supposed to grow here.

[BostonBull]

White spruce

 

[tomthetreeman]

no.

 

[BostonBull]

jack pine

 

[easyphloem]

I'm terrible with northern species. I was assuming your first picture was down south.

[trees4ever]

Picea sitchensis (Sitka spruce) ?

-Diane-

 

[tomthetreeman]

Boston got it, it is P. banksiana. Based on the last evergreen conifer that I posted, I thought this one would take longer. No hints next time!
