Need Tree Id Please [pic]

17 years ago

Here is a pic of a tree that is growing in front of our barn. We've ask several people and tried to find out what type tree it is. Nobody around here knows and I haven't found anything on the internet to help me id it. I hope someone here will know. It hasn't fully leafed out yet but this is an image of the fruit/seeds with a beginning leaf/bud.

This is only our second summer here but we haven't noticed any winged seeds from the tree, do the seeds change appearance as the tree gets older?
Also, the leaves are shaped a bit different than the images I can find of a boxelder.

Thank you,
Cindi

First tree IS PLC. Minorly affected. And some nitrogen deficiency. Fertilize and spray more during the dormant season. One of my nectarines, 'Desert Delight' does this, despite getting sprayed. It often misses the last spraying, as it breaks bud first of all my stone fruits. Not sure about the large split down the trunk - could be due to irregular watering, could be disease related. Tree 2: Not sure that's bacterial canker. Water, fertilize with a higher nitrogen fertilizer and mulch under the tree (keeping the mulch away from the trunk of course). Let's see if we can save the tree, first. Send your photos to your local Master Gardeners or extension office, and let's see what they have to say. Keep us posted. Patty S.

Considering that the only Elm that is naturalized(there are no native Elms in Colorado) in your area is Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila), I bet it's most likely that species. Although American Elm (U. americana) has been commonly cultivated in Colorado and that's possible. But your seedling looks more like Siberian Elm to me. Also, Siberian Elm has widely erroneously been called Chinese Elm, the true Chinese Elm(U. parvifolia) is mostly sold as Lacebark Elm and usually has very ornamental multi-colored bark which is completely unlike any native Elm and the vast majority of cultivated Elms. It's also only been in wide spread cultivation for about the past 20 years or so.

Thank you both. I feel silly not knowing a crape myrtle. I bought this house late last August and thinking back now remember that the foliage was a beautiful deep orange-red. I didn't realize they got so tall. These must be about 30' tall. I can't wait to see what color blooms they have. Thank you both again.

Unlike most other maples, the A. negundo is fully dioecious so there are "male" and "female" trees. You have a male so it does not make seeds.
The leaf form can vary in different ways from tree to tree and there are several varieties.
The leaves can be anywhere between 6 and 15 inches long and can have 3 to 7 leaflets sometimes slightly lobed or coarsely toothed.

The only common one with a pinnate leaf, other maples there won't have separate leaflets spread out on a stalk that runs up the center in the manner of a fern. Variations within this same arrangement, like number or size of leaflets do not make yours a different species of maple.

Ok, thanks so much for helping us figure this one out. Most likely we will have the tree removed because of the location.

I have another one on the property that we are not sure of that get white flowers and produces a berry. When I get pics I know where to find the experts now.

Again, thank you so much!
