  1. Calocedrus decurrens - Incense Cedar Chamaecyparis obtusa - Hinoki Cypruss Thuja occidentalis -White arbor-vitae Try these for starters:thumbup: Oh and Yew:biggrin:
  2. haha, you obviously searched better than i did:thumbup:
  3. Just out of curiosity Al, what book did you find this one in or did you know it? Its in none of mine but i eventually found it online (thats why it took so long:lol:)
  4. and i'd have to agree, beat me to it:sneaky2:
  5. I'll get it don't you worry, just give me a mo:biggrin:
  6. I've got quite a few Al, quite a few indeed:lol: (think 13 on the last count) it was in the Collins field guide by Owen johnson (2006)
  7. well done:thumbup:
  8. nice one:thumbup: got anymore?
  9. what this tree was? Could be a Sorbus, hard to say from those pics going off bark alone
  10. Sorbus alnifolia - Alder-leaved Whitebeam
  11. is that fruit a pome or a drupe?
  12. woot woot, i like ID'ing trees, anymore?
  13. this then leads me to believe that it is in the Fabaceae family and it is possibly a Cladrastis kentukea?? I'm running out of options i know here:lol:
  14. if i had to guess it would be one of... Fraxinus americana Fraxinus latifolia Tertadium daniellii
  15. Has it got a chambered pith? If so its in the Juglandaceae family and could be either Juglans regia/nigra or Pterocarya fraxinifolia Could also be a hickory sp. (Carya sp.) Any chance i can see the bud/bud scar? Saying that could it also be a Fraxinus sp.?

    in fact scrap that:lol: its not A. maximowiczianum that was my guess looking from my phone I'd be more confident in guessing Acer triflorum:thumbup: but it could also be Acer henryi as you state! Have you got any more pics? Either A. triflorum or A. henryi

    You won't find Acer ginala because its Acer ginnala. The leaf here is more than likely Acer maximowiczianum:biggrin:, its similar to A. griseum with different bark. Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  21. i think the further north you go the more common that is! there are quite a few birch in salford (on the edge of woodlands and greenspaces) that display these fung's, i'll get piccies for you:biggrin:
  22. Unfortunately, if you wanted to so a degree, you would pay that price (there or there abouts) at any uni/college, part time or not! I started mine before the government put student fees up:sneaky2: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  23. I do the online FdSc and it is damned hard work doing a full time job and running a house hold with two kids as well coz the missus is doing her masters:biggrin:! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
