Tree ID "sticky"
« on: January 22, 2013, 08:20:31 pm »
I've been reading back through PA threads intently absorbing all the knowledge available here.  I've noticed with regularity tree ID question threads.  Well, I have a strong background in this area....  I'd be very happy to put together a bow wood tree ID photo section, with growth habits and habitat preferences.  I don't have access to any of the western species, but midwestern/southeatern stuff is in my area of expertise.

Would a photo section with leaf and bark, fruit and maybe winter twig, be of interest?

I want to contribute here, and I know nothing of building a bow other than what I've read on the internet...  I know, "you can't put anything on the internet that isn't true, right?" :D :D

I tried starting something like that a while ago and it died off.  I think the post was called  bowyers tree ID or something like that. 

Good luck with it.  I think it would help a lot of beginners out

That May help, but there's nothing like a live 1 on 1 with an expert Because as you know species very in appearance From 1 tree to the next Plus it makes for good conversation ;)

I think it would be helpful ,especially in the Ash/Elm family,others also but those are the ones that really fool me. I know an ash and an elm but that's about as far as it goes,all the different kinds I don't have a clue on most. :)

I think it would be a great reference for beginners. Maybe even compile variations for species with a large range. I took dendrology at Purdue several years ago , but use it every day :)

Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for opinions and contributions along the way. Might pm Steve Parker (Hillbilly) for some good input.

Wapiti, I think that is a great idea. Leaves, bark(old and young), flowers, fruit, twigs and buds and tree structure(branching). We have lots of folks asking what this tree is or what that tree is. I think it is a great idea if you feel like going to all that effort.
