That was pretty easy, except for you not answering if we were right or wrong. Paperbarks are quite rare trees in Ontario. Even in warmer climes such as Toronto south to Windsor they do not seem to do much. Most landscape trees are brought in from the west coast and decide to halt further good growth when the winters here hit -23 Celcius.

OK This was fun to watch.

I'm definitely "in" on the next one cause I know some people who know some people who have seen some people with SirTreeRat shirts, and they say they're very chic!

 

[SirTreeRat]

Thank you, MrsMorningWood, keep sweet talking and you just might end up with one.

LOL

This is going to be slightly harder.

Looking at those catkins I'm thinking Alder of some kind.

But the bark has confused me.

Re: Weekly Tree ID Picture Quiz#2

OK, I'm not posting a pic today,


NO, NO, NO, we shall hit the books and the websites,


<font color="blue"> FLOWER </font>: monoecious, catkins (in case you didn't know)

<font color="blue"> FORM </font>: Deciduous tree, 40-60 ft (12-18 m) tall, pyramidal when young

and last hint for the day is,


Sun, adaptable. Grows well in the heat of the south.

OK kids off you go, time to do your homework.
Good luck.
