Tree Trivia

Been a while since we've played. Spotted this huge one where I met my customer this morning. The tree nerd in me had to take pics of course. 42"DBH. Ill post a leaf pic tomorrow night.
Whats your guess FHC?

 

Sycamore.

 

With no leaf pics I guess sycamore as well

 

White oak?

 

I second white oak.

 

My guess is white oak as well.

 

Big azz ash?

 

Here's the leaf pic. No cheating app users. I will post answer tomorrow night.

 

We have absolutely huge ones of those around here but most I see are white.

 

Late to the party but after seeing the leaf I'd say Sycamore as well.

 

Another vote for Sycamore.

 

I've got a couple almost that size in the back yard.

They sprouted in a window box on our apartment balcony about 35 years ago, and when I moved to our present home I threw the dirt in a hole in the backyard.

Well they just kept growing, so I moved them for some quick shade on the west side of the house. And they have done the job quite nicely!

Interestingly, one has bark like the pictured tree, while the other is the classic "naked" white tree from about 8 feet on up. I guess two separate tree seeds just happened to land in that little box in the same year.

 

Well……… ?
What’s the official answer????
And I want to see a picture of the whole thing

 

Sycamore is correct. I seen some good sized ones and marvel at their size. I think its the coolest bark of the trees

Oops, sorry. Meant to post last night but got in late. It is a sycamore. One of the coolest tree barks on younger trees. Lighting wasn't the best to get a decent pic.

 

Nasty, nasty wood….. Hate that stuff ! !

 

Same here. The camouflage bark is still cool looking too.

 

I've got at least a cord or 2 on deck for this year. It's been split and covered for 4 years. I have no problem with sycamore.

 

Absolutely Sycamore

 

Smells almost as bad as cottonwood when burned. Yuck!

 

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a sycamore tree. The leaves look maple-y. I don’t care if it smells. I’d burn it!!
