The striped and red maple threw me off, as well as hemlock. Red maple we have, I don't think I have ever seen striped maple. It's definitely tougher just going by bark, despite a few being obvious.
I learned something from that quiz, I have quite a few pin cherries in my yard, I cut a couple down to make room for my wood shed, thought it was a birch of some kind. Now I know where all those berries came from that used to fall on my wood stacks. I have quite a few of the other cherry and had to cut a couple small ones down to make room.
Nice quiz! I missed the first six (missed bad), but I nailed 5 of the last six. Bookmarking that link now. Thanks, HD.
I have to ID wood from bark when I scrounge ,until I split some of it I did better than I thought I would
I got two wrong. Guessed on the spruce and balsam. Educated guess on the striped maple: it's striped! Where does it grow? Never seen it.
I did surprisingly good for me, I got 7 out of the 12!! You guys should be proud, you taught me well! One thing, the "Hemlock" pictured looks NOTHING like a "Hemlock" on Long Island??? Are there 2 different types of Hemlock tree's? The ones I know are a type of pine tree, they look similar to scotch pine.... ?
I got 10 out of 12, I am not good at conifer trees because before FHC, we never used them as firewood it was bonfire wood.. Still not sure their picture of big yellow birch was a yellow our bark looks different!. maybe just a my eyes... hey guys as FYI sugar maple has white spots where red does not. thanks HD for a good quiz..
Happy to say I got them all (12/12), although the one tree they had indicated as yellow birch did not look right to me. Looked much more like an older black birch. Since that wasn't a choice I picked yellow.
Sherwood, not sure what yellow birch that is but not one I am used to seeing in our section of the world..
Yeah I don't know about that one, because almost everyone gets it wrong. I put the quiz up on the other site a long time ago and it was the same results with that one
