Hello,

I have some trees that need to be identified. Recently some tree stump remover friend came by and said we had some beautiful silver maples on the property. In my head i thought silver maples were silver poplar, clearly I was wrong. Grok says it's a Norway maple, ChatGPT says it's a silver maple, my mom says it's a Norway maple.

So the life or death situation, I have 2 black walnut trees on the property. They already killed 2 apple trees but the silver maples or Norway maples have not reacted. So in my head it's either cutting down the black walnut or let them eventually kill the maples. I also understand that the big maples will be fine if they were big enough.

I'm located in southern Ontario

I know nothing about trees and would love to clean and boil this for my aquarium but do not want to use soft wood!

Can someone tell me what specific pine that is? Thanks

Looking to try making maple syrup for the first time.

Trying to identify this tree in order to use it for my millipedes enclosure, he can't be around any type of softwood.

I know its a bad picture, a friend sent it to me so I wasn't able to get as close of pictures as I would like.

Edit: I am aware it is rotten, its exactly what I need for my millipedes enclosure! They eat it

Nw Florida

Is this tree gonna fall if it does not long does it had because its leaning

Have a few of these on my property. I thought it was Ash at first but the serrated edges and number of leaves seemed different. Can’t find any husks under the canopy. Located in northeast TN

Pictures of trees before they were removed.

Orlando, is this normal for winter? I had no idea the trees got this dormant up here! Do the trees in South Florida look anything like this during the winter, or do they stay green year-round? This is the closest example of dormancy I could find in Coral Springs. 🌳

and also what tree is this

I know some trees store lots of water, but I've never seen it in person before. I'm pretty sure it was water, because it was WAY too thin to be a sap I'm pretty sure (I've never seen a sap that wasn't slow and sticky before).

P.S:

Please ignore my neck, I haven't shaved in a while because I've been pretty busy 💀

Found this while scavenging wood for wand making. Anyone have any idea?

Anyone know how old this tree was?

I know i will receive backlash for this, but please hear me out.

When my father was married to my mother, they fought on a frequent basis. I was just an infant, so I have no memory of this, and I'm basing this on my father's retelling. When my father would come home from the night shift, he would stop at the Bradford Pear in the front yard, place his hand on it, and clear his mind of all the stress from work and his marriage. He would then enter the house, and no doubt my mom would start to argue with him once again.

They divorced shortly after that, but the Bradford Pear prevailed. In all it's stinky glory. My dad would claim that after he started to pray (in his way) over the tree, it stopped bearing fruit. I have fond memories of climbing the tree, and it was a staple during my childhood.

I joined the military right after high school, and spent 20 years doing what I loved. When I retired, I moved back into my childhood home to take care of dad. After a year or so, it became clear that dad needed a higher level of care, so he moved into a retirement home. I took it upon myself to trim the Bradford Pear a few times a year. One day after a storm, a large branch fell and hit the house. The house was ok, but the tree was getting old I guess. I noticed that the tree was also growing close to the power line.

I called a tree company, and had the tree cut down and the stump ground. My father was crestfallen, but he could see that the tree had become a problem. The front of the house looked naked. My fiance and I were talking about a replacement tree. In the spring, dad passed away suddenly.

Later in the spring, about 10 feet away, something began to grow. It was the Bradford Pear coming back lol. It was far enough away from the power lines and the house. I assume it will last another 40 years. Dad would be happy to know it came back.

I know these are generally hated trees, invasive, and smell like spunk when they blossom. But to me, the tree has sentiment. Thanks for reading!
