Winter Bud ID

It does look salixy doesn't it? Good guess...apart from that bouble bud conundrum thing going.

Keep guessing!

Schubert chokecherry,

Prunus virginiana 'Schubert'?

 

[tomthetreeman]

I have wanted to say P. persica as well, so I guess I will say it. Peach.

 

[Frax]

Both good guesses!!!!

But not quite.

Shubert is boringly hardy here.

Peach is not.

Okay, I'm coming in from 'our' first cold and wet weather of the season.


I think the stem color is too dark for a peach.
So if it's not some kind of cherry ...

I'll go with some kind of apricot

Prunus armeniaca takes it. Apricot it is!

 

[treeness]

I thought I recognized it. Just pruned one last week. Another fun fact is apricots have thorns as well, learned that fun lesson the hard way.

Okay !


I've got some great ideas for bud photos, but no photos just yet.
I'll have to take a raincheck for now, but I'll be back later in the winter!


Floor is open~

I knew I recognized it, we pruned a few earlier this year:

Your climber looks very smart and attractive, a good face for your company. He is pretty strange at times though, from what I hear anyway.

 

[tomthetreeman]

He's not really just a climber, he is actually a crew leader that I look to for solutions when things get difficult. I did not necessarily hire him to be a face for the company, though. He has a face only a mother could love.

 

[banjo]

Damn it all. Hopefully the pats win.

I've seen worse.

 

[Frax]

Thanks Jeff!

Sorry Frax, I'll get a pic.

 

[tomthetreeman]

How do I post a pic from an iPhone? The choose file button is there but I can't click on it.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Fuzzy pic from this morning. NOT sent from my iPhone.

 

[robinia]

awesome new avatar Tom! have you got a 'spring' and 'fall' as well?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Well, the original is May... Spring and Summer would be similar, but hopefully someday I'll get a 'Fall.'

Any guess at the horrible pic?

[JeffL]

Pic loads but is blank for me.
