Tree Identification (4 trees)
Comments (13)Thanks for all of the suggestions and help identifying these trees. I have only lived here a little over a year and am finding I have .56 acres of "where do I start". Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Per request here are twigs from the first two plants. Ignore the numbers and letters written on the paper. I lost a brain cell somewhere in the process and messed them up. This first photo is from the mature tree: The next two are from a juvenile tree: The smaller twig in this photo is from a juvenile tree. The larger from the mature tree. I think I have two more questions: regarding these cherry/elm trees. The juveniles are popping up on the opposite end of the yard away from the house. Is there any particular reason why I shouldn't let them just grow? WIth the exception of a large flower bed in the middle of the yard and all the trees jammed in at the border of the property my yard is pretty much a large expanse of lawn. It would be nice to have a few more trees! And as far as the poplars go, there is a dirt road that comes up beside one side of my house. I'm thinking these might be a good privacy screen for that side of the yard. How well do they transplant? Thanks so much!...See MoreNeed Help With Tree Identification & Also Tree Planting Advice

Comments (12)Happy to go with P.gracilor (Syn. Afrocarpus), and that interesting article explains how a relatively obscure African tree arrived in the USA. But I did note this line... "...it has recently been reclassified into the new genus Afrocarpus on the basis of its fruiting structure, with some botanists considering it a variety of Afrocarpus falcatus and others retaining its separate species designation."...See MoreTree identification
Comments (3)Hackberry? Celtis species. btw for future reference, please say where the plant you want identified is located. Geographical location makes a lot of difference to what it is likely to be. eta the transatlantic time lag got me again. beng's definite id wasn't there when I posted....See More- 9 years ago
