wow, those are close though. i didn't know of swamp chestnut oak.

It's a big tree though huh? Haven't seen a Prinus that big I don't think.

Your Turn

BUT this is a CLOSE tree to call - I may have to go back and see the flowers are there as a few left and check the bark and wait for the acorns in the late summer. MAYBE I can measure it

EZ - Blinkster - up for a climb?

REAL CLOSE

enjoy and thanks

JZ -
These two species are closely related. Q. prinus prefers rocky acidic soils and Q. michauxii likes the wetlands.
Is this tree near a boggy(or once was boggy) area?

I think the acorns of these two species may be the best for correct ID. The acorns are dark brown/black in Chestnut oaks with warty acorn cups covering about 1/2 of the nut.
Whereas the Swamp Chestnut Oak (Q. michauxii) has a tan-colored acorn and its cup is shorter covering only the lower 1/4 of the nut.
Your photo shows a short/small acorn cup so this may very well be the Q. michauxii....very hard to say...

i will find a better picture of tree two, because it's almost impossible with that one i showed.

Is that the tallest tree in MD?

EASY picture, of tree 2.

(and i got the joke of course Hollen)

 

[tomthetreeman]

It is Prunus serotina (or possibly virginiana).

[TNTree_man]

From the color of the wood at the cut I would have to agree with prunus.

I've been busy and missin' the BUZZ. It's like an addiction.

yes, black cherry it is.

Hollen got the main tree first, so it's his turn.

unless he wants to go after the newbe here that's trying to post a picture out of turn.

Tom got the cherry and I think he still has about 10 slots saved up from past winnings.
