Here's a cracker (No. 4). Genus is easy enough, it's the species that is the challenge.

Nothofagus menziesii ?

No. 6. this one had no lable but I think it's not too obscure.

Nothofagus menziesii ?

Just going to give others a chance to have a go before saying.

[Matthew Corran]

Is it a Cunninghamia lanceolata

[daltontrees]

Is it a Cunninghamia lanceolata

 

Will tell you what I think tomorrow.

[daltontrees]

No. 7, this one's (I think) really hard, I couldn't get it with the whole tree in front of me.

[RobArb]

My guesses:biggrin:

 

No1. Would have got Ulmus but not the Camperdown:blush:

 

No2. Pinus strobus or Pinus monticola would be my best guess? Gotta be a White pine with that bark hasn't it??

 

No3. Yup thats a Picea breweriana

 

No4. Going to agree with David here, that is a Nothofagus menziesii

 

No5. Er where's number 5??

 

No6. Yep, beaten to it again, Matthew got it:thumbup: Cunninghamia lanceolata

 

No7. wild stab in the dark, gonna say Prumnopitys andina

[daltontrees]

Dammit, you're good!

1. 'Camperdownii', gotta be with that weeping form.

2. P. strobus, as you say bark is distinctive

3. P. breweriana as already confirmed

4. N. menziesii for sure

5. Where IS it? I will post one shortly.

6. Cunninghamia lanceolata, check.

7. Nearly full marks up till this one but not even the right Genus. The Genus isn't obscure, the species is. I will give you a clue, if the picture of the whole tree had included the leader you might have got the Genus right away.

I am nominating the single elongating bud picture posted earlier this week in lieu of the missing no. 5. As ever, it is a screamingly obvious one to indentify if yoyu saw the whole tree. even so I got it within 10 metres based on just a couple of features that you can see in the picture. C'mon, put aside '100 leaves' and just look at it!
