Tree I.D's

Douglas Hunt on May 28, 2012I wish I were better at leaf identifications, Eulalia. Do you have photos of the whole trees? That may give folks a better shot at making an ID. If not, I'd suggest paying a visit to your local Cooperative Extension office.Helpful Reply

Eulalia on May 28, 2012I don't have a picture of the whole tree yet. I'm seeing trees and weeds in Virginia that I have never seen in Massachusetts. It's pretty exciting! I will try your suggestion as soon as I find out where the Cooperative Extension office is located. Still trying to find my way around. Thank you for your response.Helpful Reply

Gretchen on Aug 10, 2013I also live in VA and yes, there are a lot of trees (and weeds,and bugs), here that are not in New England!There are also many variations of different trees. It would help to see the whole tree but as a first guess, the bottom picture might be a barberry hawthorn (maybe?) or it could be a blackhaw? Or maybe even a type of magnolia? The flowers in the top picture are really throwing me.Helpful Reply

Angela Bahling on Jan 30, 2014Eulalia, do you have an iPad or iPhone? There is an app that IDs trees and shrubs called Leafsnap HD. I have really enjoyed using it! Good luck on the identification!Helpful Reply

Barb on Apr 12, 2014None of these leaves are Magnolia leaves. Magnolia leaves are much larger and thicker, also darker green.Helpful Reply

Glenda Thompson on Apr 13, 2014The first photos are a Sourwood sometimes it is called lily of the valley tree, I think the second is a Buckeye you will have to wait until the bloom/seed pod becomes a large brown pod in the late summer it will have a lighter spot looks like a deers eye. Have fun learning about the trees in the south.Helpful Reply
