My WAG is Australian Pine

tule peak timber

No on the Aussie pine, but your logic trail is good............... :)
I cannot believe that with the numbers of these trees around that no one has developed a market for it yet.
Several years ago I started looking at Ca. orchard walnut for uses other than gun-stocks and those markets have REALLY taken off for me.I hope this "trash" wood will do the same. Cheers WOC

Bingo,,,,,Tamarisk or Tamarix - a non native tree also known as salt cedar. Let's see what we can do with it.

Regarding Yellow Birch, I have seen some huge ones in the Adirondack Forest Preserve and the bark on those very mature trees is much different than on younger trees.

 Today's tree of the day.  Often these will be found growing on sand hills along with longleaf pine and sand pine.  
I figured resurrecting this thread would be appropriate for today.  Enjoy your food and family.

The wood was used at one time to make artificial limbs.
Going back through this thread on this TG day, and it struck me as ironic/funny that they used to use real limbs to make artificial limbs.

Poquo, I tried to link a turkey oak to today but somehow, I failed to do so.  Also, LeeB previously mentioned that the wood of black willow used to be used for artificial limbs or prosthetics.  After reading this thread in its entirety today, I realize that we have some potential trees of the day close by that I have not posted pictures of.  

This thread reminded me of how much I have learned from many of you who contribute to the forestry forum.  I am thankful to have had the opportunity to go back and read some of WDH's amazing explanations and think about the conversations that we had that were of incredible benefit to me.

Caveman, this is one of my favorite threads on the Forestry Forum. Whenever I walk in the woods I'm trying to identify trees , not very good but getting better. Thanks to everyone on here that freely shares there knowledge to help.

While driving and walking around the swamps in the winter, I saw a tree that I did not previously put on the tree of the day thread.  Most of the year I do not notice this tree but in December the red berries shine.  The ones I took pictures of today have lost most of their berries.  This species is found from Louisiana to Florida and up the Atlantic coast.  The tree pictured is a girl.

What is it?

I think native americans made a drink from it but the latin name scares me.

I think Winter is the key.

The best I can tell, it is a Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine).  I see a lot of American Holly north of here.  The Dahoon Holly is used frequently as an ornamental in landscape.  Walgreens seems to plant them at all of their stores by the parking lots.

I thought it might have been Winterberry

I just found this thread and finished reading it all the way through. Wow what a lot of digesting to try to do in a short period of time. It was awesome reading post by Danny like he was still here. Don't know why but this is the only place that his profile hasn't changed.
