Does it still track straight in both directions?

If on my phone I just email the pic to myself. When you email it it will ask you if you want it small, medium or actual. By picking medium or small you are making it a smaller file. After I do that I find I can post it no problem.

Tree, Plant and Wood I.D. / Re: Cherrybark or Southern red...

I got the VTree app and am downloading it now. 

I had arbor something app that I deleted because it did not work anyway.  My go-to has always been my book because I never had much success with the app.

Health and Safety / Re: Crazy Papersthey

Seems now I just go full time to dr appointments and tests, but really like the Southside approach to bureaucratic bs.  No one has bothered with trying to send healthcare people to my house, they just call and tell me to show up at what dr office or testing facility. I refuse to fill out census and ag department surveys as well.  Beings I am or was a farmer, get the AG census.  They want to know how many cattle you have, how many you sold and what you got for them and their birthdays.  I don't remember.

That post should be pinned up somewhere. Thanks for putting that photo together Lynn. The leaves vary by height and age and can be VERY different. In scarlet and northern reds this can be a real conundrum, I have have had some 'pointed discussions' over this.  We have both here and you have to be really careful to get it right. With my furniture, I just say 'Red Oak" and leave it at that .

I have a resize app on my phone and I resize all of my pictures and delete the unsized pictures before I upload them to my laptop.  I then upload the selected pictures to the FF Gallery.  There is never a hesitation.

That also makes it much quicker for me to text a picture to someone.

I'm from the frozen north so I can only agree with the previous replies after looking up scarlet oak. But I wanted to mention that Virginia Tech has a pretty good tree ID app called Vtree. It will find your location and give you the common tree species with pics of the leaves, bark, fruit, buds, twigs, etc.

Agreed.  It's a great app.  Think its called VTree

Chainsaws / Re: First time chainsaw user e...

Last post by WLzM1A - Yesterday at 09:43:06 PM

Just remember chainsaws and ladders are two things that do not mix. Just fair warning/caution. I'm sure we've all done it but not a good idea especially if inexperienced. Your mention of tree limbs brought this to mind.

Truth bomb

The Red Oaks can be tricky with their leaves.  Leaves in the tops, middle, and the shade leaves on the bottom can all be very different:

This is the top side of 7 leaves that all came from the same tree.


And here is the underside of those seven leaves.
