Title: Tree ID's, based on leaves/fruit
Post by: Knoll on September 14, 2014, 05:59:33 pm

It's been wayyyyy too many years since Dendrology (tree id) class.

Mulberry ... correct?

This tree, I have no recollection.  Small red berries.  Top of leaf is shiny green.  Bottom of leaf is dull silvery.

Newish limbs appear to have arrow potential.

Genus & species?  Without using Google?  Yeah, right.   :( 
I had the strangest experience of my higher ed years with dendrology class.  Course is divided into 2 portions ... 1st semester is tree focused & 2nd semester is focused on lumber.  1st attempt was quickly apparent that I was not "getting it".  Dropped the course after about a month and seriously considered changing majors.  Following year took the course ... had a ball and grades were 1st rate.

Thanks, fellas, for the help!
