[loadstarken]

Yeah I didn't do very well at all on that!

 

[jackatc1]

Yellow birch no way!

Maybe blister rot beech.

 

[WellSeasoned]

Did good for the beginning, but then it said NO WAY, YOU ARE WRONG

Cool quiz

 

[Jack Straw]

I got them all right.......eventually.

 

[nrford]

That second yellow birch was the only one I missed with first answer. I sure would like a closer look at it though because I have my doubts as well, at least from that view!

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Wow! That was fun! I did much better than I thought. Fun stuff

 

[firefighterjake]

Got them all right the first time except for the hemlock in the bottom row . . . if only I saw the needles! Surprised myself since I tend to ID trees more by leaf/needle structure.

I had 3 wrong and that was one of them, maybe when they get huge the bark changes?

It does change but that is just a poor pic.

I missed the same tree. Yellow Birch is highly variable, but that one is unusual even for a tree with a lot of unusual specimens. I also missed the Hemlock. I guess I never spent a lot of time looking closely at Hemlock bark; there is no need to use the bark for identification.

Got the white birch right

The wood lot I have been cutting at , the trees were cut down 2 years ago , so I have been researching bark ID ,cuz that's all I have to go by, except end grain when I cut.
When I go back I will take the x25 so I can split some to help, if I can't ID them

That one birch in the quiz ,IDK ,may be an error

Wood Duck :: How do you , ID trees in winter ??

I clicked on each picture for a closer view....the url gave them all way. 100%!

 

[Woody Stover]

Trees around here don't have bark like that.

 

[JBinKC]

Got all of the deciduous trees on the first try. I didn't do well with the pine species. I must be a wood snob.

 

[HDRock]

Bump

 

[save$]

One wrong first time through. That was interesting. I often go by the odor so this was good for me.
Good review. Now, how many can find north by looking at tree trucks?

 

[Paulywalnut]

No oak or locust?
Got them all right on the second
row. Terrible on the pine family.

 

[BEConklin]

Yeah that was a piece of cake....click on each pic to see it enlarged and the species appears in the url address....
Before I noticed that, I was running 50% correct

 

[rideau]

No problems with those I've seen growing. Guessed on the striped maple. Missed the second yellow birch...guessed, but guessed wrong.

 

[BEConklin]

Yeah - striped maple threw me a curve. Never seen it before - it looked to me like sassafras when it's young but that wasn't an option
.

 

[HDRock]

Give it a try
