Fire Cherry (Prunus pensylvanica)Observer
tsnDescription
Highlighting the difference in bark patterns between Prunus pensylvanica (this observation) and Betula lenta (next observation). One doesn't often get to see examples of these two species of similar size in such close proximity.
I have seen some young saplings of Prunus pensylvanica in this area.

Butternut (Juglans cinerea)Observer
micholokoDescription
Butternut canker present but a large healthy tree with more than 70% of its canopy still intact. Could be another potential candidate for nut collection.

The trunk appears canker free, need closer inspection. Potentially a good candidate for nut collection next summer!

White Oaks (Section Quercus)Observer
micholokoDescription
@tsn have any clue? It looks like a white oak hybrid…. Possibly Quercus x bebbiana or Quercus x fernowii?
The majority types of oaks on the property are Q. montana and Q. alba, so potentially it could also be Q. x saulii… it’s interesting but there is so much variation in the hybrid leaf margins, i’m unsure.
