Tree ID Game

[Jason Douglas]

Easy enough rules, no close pictures of leaves and whatnot as that's usually too easy. Clues can be given later if no one is getting it. Load the full image rather than a pain in the ass thumbnail or link.

Tree on center, not the linden to it's right.

Fagus? - kinda blurry

 

[Jason Douglas]

Nope. Go off branching structure.

Is that a fall webworm nest about dead center in the picture?

 

[Jason Douglas]

Could be. There a birch nearby that definitely had them. Far left of this picture but hard to see.

I feel like I am throwing darts blind...not quite blind, but I'm just not seeing enough distinguishing characteristics.

Some of the branching out on the ends looks a little ash-like. The main structure branches at the trunk looks a little like Pin oak (low branches pointing down/horizontal) - but not the overall shape of the tree.

So, I'll go with Carya???

 

[Jason Douglas]

Vase shaped/martini glass primary branching structure.

A lower random horizontal branch is throwing that off.

Genus is a common host of fall webworm.

Ash?

If I just read that and didn't see a pic, I'd say elm...but I'm not seeing that.

 

[Jason Douglas]

Not elm. Not ash.

Are we just throwing out guesses?

Yes.
I'll add Sourwood just for kicks and because it hosts fall webworm.

Can we ask questions?

What zone does it grow in?
Does it produce edible fruit/nuts?

 

[Jed1124]

Well when I clicked on the picture it zoomed me right into the birch on the left which is obviously not the focal point of the picture. From what I can make out of the leaves on the lower section I'll put in a second guess of Linden. That being said I've never seen fall web worm on Linden so I'm probably wrong.

Prunus serotina.

 

[ropensaddle]

Yes Del nailed it after zooming black cherry,wild cherry
