Help with identifying trees


Recommended Posts

So I recently bought a house with some acreage and it has some great diversity of habitat. I am very poor at identifying trees and it is something I want to get better at. I numbered the trees on my phone to identify them, if you know what the tree is please reply! I may keep posting more pics of trees I find on my daily walks.

this may help a little. Think "MADCAP HORSE". In the north-east, with hardwoods, you can look up in the canopy at the branching. If the twigs have the buds (next years branches) come off in pairs, that is opposite branching. (google "opposite branching" for a better explanation).The Maple, Ash, Dogwood, Caprifoliaceae, and HORSE are all opposite. The rest are alternate branched. Gives you a quick, coarse filter in telling trees apart. HORSE stands for Horse Chestnut, and Caprifoliaceae is members of the honeysuckle family (certain shrubs, vines and herbs)
