Another Tree id?
« on: April 08, 2011, 05:10:56 pm »
I think the top 2 pics are HHB but I'm not for sure. Can anyone confirm that?


These 2 pics I have no idea. Most of these are twisted but some are fairly straight. Thought I might try em out.

I second the sycamore, and the top looks like elm.

On second thought, the leaf twigs have a thorny look to them, might be apple

The first one lokes like a Hawthorn.  It is a big Hawthorn if it is.
The second looks like a Crape Merle.

The 2nd pic is Crape Mertyle,  I have a few in my back yard. This wood is very brittle and I don't think it will make a very good bow.

I thought those looked kinda like crepe myrtle. These trees are pretty deep in the woods and I didnt know they grew out in the wild like that.

Hawthorn! Crepe myrtles don't have thorns.  Ryano made a beautifyl bow a few years ago with hawthorn. I think he called it thorn apple.

Second one is crepe myrtle....sycamore would be white underneath.  Top pics are a hawthorn not sure what variety but it is hawthorn.

If the smooth bark tree is crepe myrtle it shgould have dried seed heads still attached. These will be clusters of round seed pods that split into quarters as they opened.

Elms over here tend to have asymetrical leaves that have double tooth edges, cant realy see from the pic.
Bark, branch and buds can be as telling as leaves to a tree so its best to take a note of a few to make it easy to ID when you get home ;)
