cblelong Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I need some help trying to ID a tree. Tree is located in NJ and is old based on size. The trunk is over 2ft in diameter at the base. If I remember correctly from summertime, the leaves are similar to an ash or hickory. It blossoms with small white petals annually.

cblelong Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Good call on the Locust Jasahan. I hadn't thought of that one, but I think you are definitely right. Good eye on the ivy as well. Made sure to stay clear of that. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nope, it's an elm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyNoName Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I don't think it's a black locust. They have very large thorns on the branches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasahan Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Honey locust have the thorns. Unless black locusts do, too. But the one across the street doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdale51@yahoo.com Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 A couple months back I had to take an introductory level forestry class as part of my degree in environmental science. We used these two websites for tree identification. It is much more helpful if you know some information about the leaves. http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu/dendrology/syllabus/key/location.htm this is Virginia Tech's website for tree identification http://www.arborday.org/trees/whattree/WhatTree.cfm?ItemID=E6A This is the Arbor day foundation's website.
