Tree of the day

[Ljohnsaw]

The leaves look like Dogwood but I've never seen berries on mine.  Is it related to dogwood?

[Jeff]

Yes! It is an Alternate-leaf dogwood Cornus alternafolia. Pagoda dogwood

[KEC]

I'm not sure if this tree has already been on here or not, but here's one.

 

 

 

[WDH]

Kentucky coffeetree.

[KEC]

I figured one of you guys would get it quickly. My neighbor has some in his yard and I have a few, though we ,in Central New York, are outside its' range. It seems to develop seams in the  crotches and the winds gets them. Wood is sort of middle-of -the -road firewood.

[dchiapin]

Arrowwood, Viburnum dentatum

[DelawhereJoe]

Have we run out of trees....or days ?

[Woodpecker52]

Here is a tree should be easy, likes to hold on to it limbs, which are everywhere, large amount of nuts, usually in bottoms and flats, what is I?

 

[WDH]

Quercus lyrata.  Overcup oak. 

[Woodpecker52]

nope but a oak. Jr. and Sr. leaves.

[WDH]

OK, probably a red oak then, maybe water oak.  It has all kinds of shapes for leaves when young. 

[caveman]

I agree with Danny, it is in the red oak family and probably new growth.  I am going to need a little more information to even have a chance of getting this one right.  

I have not had a chance to get too far away from home.  Once I do, I will be able to introduce a little variety.

[Woodpecker52]

No one else stepped up to the plate, to have the tree of the day, so you got me, and this was the only picture I had and yes it is a water oak and they certainly have strange first leaves, but it is probable that it is a genetic link, from the past maybe showing up, certainly worth a hypothesis ?  I do not think it is because of global dumbing.

Have we run out of trees....or days ?

Just days...  :D
I have tomorrow free, so I can go and find some more brain teasers.   ;)

[Magicman]

OK, here is one for you:


 
I have no picture of the leaves but the bark and expression should do the trick.    :D

[doc henderson]

looks like a one eyed, speckled bellied ash.  but I have no idea what tree it is!! :D :D :D

[Texas Ranger]

Well, tickle my fancy.

[Magicman]

I should have added that there were also guttural noises and there were signs of sap spit on the ground !!  :D

[bwstout]

Dad use to fool me and my brothers with it when we were kids never knew why it tickled so much might be just a "tounge and cheek" thing ;D

[Texas Ranger]

Foresters know that tree as the only one to pop up when you need to grab something while jumping the creek.

That or a Devil's Walking Stick

[Woodpecker52]

Devils walking stick and bad KISS ( the band)  impersonation, I have never seen one so big and the bumps look like toothache tree bark also.

[Jeff]

I have a tree trophy in my polebarn. Lynn probably wished he had kept it in stock right now!

[Magicman]

Not a Devil's Walkingstick.  Aralia Spinosa L.

It is:  Hercules-Club aka Toothache Tree, Prickly Ash.  Zanthixylum clave-herculis L.

And for the record, Jeff bit on that one hence the expression.  :D

[doc henderson]

was asked by a local tree service if I wanted a log.  went to look at it.  she is a cub scout leader and brought her pack to my shop to build pinewood derby cars last winter and her dad used to be our neighbor.  thought I would post some pics.  might make some good firewood and or short lumber.  checking to see if their ID is correct.  the leaf is kind of hybrid looking to me.  lol.
