hi there
I thought I would open this thread, so everyone can post their tree pictures.
Just a way to get to know our Native trees (or non-Native trees {smile})
For a start I found this huge seed today.
As I walked under the tree the seed feel at my feet with a loud thump LOL {eek}
Can anyone tell me what it is?
I have placed a leaf from the same tree for ID reasons too
Pictures to follow
Thanks
Regards
Kathy and Dave
I was taught to ID trees by their bark and am still seen feeling and cuddling trees today (and then checking the leaves to make sure lol). Wonder if this was the original defintion of tree hugging rather than the denegrating way its used today.
John ( blackbird) i started a quiz on another site where i photographed 12 tree trunks and asked people to guess which trees they were from.... if people are intrested in having a go at this quiz i could repost the 12 imageds here tomorrow and as i said we could all try a ID the trees from the bark photos........ it could be fun....
dont just look enjoy and leave for others to share after you. we dont own the earth we just rent a small part of it....

This is a Liriodendron Tulipifera, Commonly know as a tulip Tree due to the shape of the Flowers. Its from North America. :-)
Hi,
there must be a decent Tree field Guide- after all :) They don't fly away :)
Mitchell Beazley or Collins probably do a decent one :)
