Tree ID practice

Well yes it looks that way but this elephatine trunk (in the few I saw in london) is standard in these, and does the regrowth look like.. well regrowth to you?

[RobArb]

Yes it does, maybe its a perception thing:biggrin:

 

Would be fascinating to go back through time watching the tree unravel its past:thumbup:

Ok I'll let it drop.............#unconvinced

Haha, your allowed to be:thumbup:

 

We all have our own perceptions and how we see the world, tis what makes us all unique:001_smile:

 

I have been known to be wrong:lol:

Damn, haven't looked in on this thread for a while, I would have got both the last two. Easy to say that in retrospect though.

Here's one for you, I don't know the answer(s). It's in Battersea Park, I took the pic without investigating further as I was in a rush and being ushered by wife mumbling about "tree-bore" again.

I just found this, you got to get the variety too. Not connected to the Battersea picture, by the way.

Variegated sycamore? Acer pseudoplatanus, *something* Louis-Frere?

Acer platanoides "drummondii" think that's spelt wrong.

Yes the second one is drummondii.

 

The first..? That's a hard one on that pic alone, how date you get called a tree bore (sounds familiar:lol:).

 

Some sort of ash graft?

A. platanoides 'Drumondii' it is. The Louis Frere is variegated but in a different way, not the margin but whole interveinal sectors.

Still no more shots at the Battersea Park tree? The more I stare at it the more I see a lady in a tweed dress and waistcoat. I think I need more sleep.
