Gee, a big ask for an ID, as so many species with similar leaves, fruit and buttressed trunks. My immediate reaction was Ficus rubiginosa (Port Jackson Fig), but don't hold me to it!

So, those brown, spent flower-like things are fruits? https://felipedelbosque.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/queens-crape-myrtle-fruit.jpg Do birds eat them? We have a lot of visiting birds in our yard.

Hi all, I've posted a similar post on ID that plant forum.. and somebody has recommend that I would get more help from this forum... I live in British Columbia, Canada (zone 8a). My mother-in-law's place has a pear tree that came with the house when they bought it over 30 years ago. Not sure how long the tree has been there before they purchased the house. The tree has been very fruitful every year since they've had it. However, this year it is not doing so well according to my husband. The tree barks near the bottom are drying and cracking. They have a dog who does his business near the trunk of the tree. I've told husband that he should get a fence to keep the dog out. What can we do to stop the cracking? There's been a huge swing in temperature between May and June. We've had a record hottest May and a Fall-weather-like June. Can someone please identify this specific pear tree, and the care for it as well? Thank you.

When the flowers open it will be easy to tell for sure. Otherwise it looks quite like 'Montic' to me. Also this plant is one likely to be encountered at garden centers near the Pacific. I've seen some quite nice ones in shopping center landscaping in Orange County, a situation where I doubt anyone was spraying them.

Well, you can't make a written in stone statement that sugarberry looks like this, because there are at least 3 different varieties of Celtis laevigata. There is C. laevigata var. laevigata, C. laevigata var. reticulata and C. laevigata var. texana. I was just going by the 3 species of Celtis listed on the BONAP map, but according to Weakley, there are 6 more species of Celtis that occur in Eastern US. I'm just going to say that's it's a hackberry of some description, and call it a day. Anyone is welcome to go through the list and check every species and it's varieties for a match, but I don't have the time.
