What tree?

[JD3000]

@DSMc this would be great for Sylvia's talks about PHC...never assume...go and do the work and research!

 

[JD3000]

I was looking for simple leaf ash...buds look like it, Bark looks like it, dieback looks like EAB. I couldn't find a pic that looked right.

Thought I had it with Fraxinus anomola...but that's a desert plant. Had to be a weird mullberry or ash but figured it out today.

And here's me when I figured it out...

I think this is Carya but not sure.

shit, you made me spew foam

 

[JD3000]

Anyone know this mystery Carya or Juglans or whatever pictured above?

 

[ATH]

You still have access to it...better pics of the buds?

 

[JD3000]

I can later.

 

[JD3000]

Went back and got a cutting.

 

[ATH]

That bud scar looks a lot more like Juglans than Carya...but the bud looks like neither.

Looks like that terminal leaflet is as big as your hand? Juglans regia has that...

I'll dig more.

 

[ATH]

What does the pith look like?

 

[JD3000]

I shall cut and see. Havent had time to research it. That smoothish grey bark is odd too

[JD3000]

I'm leaning towards J. regia

 

[craneguy1]

I'm saying a juglans.

 

[JD3000]

I believe so at this point. The interwebs and Dirr seem to suggest it as well. They seem to defoliate early here, lots of a fungal leafspot on them, as well and stem cankering and dieback. Only run into them once in a blue moon.

 

[ATH]

I'm saying a juglans.

With that chambered pith, yes...Juglans. I thought so with the leaf scar, but the pith solidifies it for me. I can't find anything besides J. Regia with so few leaflets and the terminal leaflet so big.
