You have me stumped (ha!) on both of those trees...I was thinking some sort of chestnut for the first picture, and I don't know what for the second..I have to come over and check them out. If that little one is a chestnut tree that's a treasure!
why whats up with the chestnut's? The red berry one is a dogwood or something, I had a picture of it earlier in the season, it gets white leaves on top of the green ones, you see them all over
Oh heck I can't find any kind of Chestnut like mine, but the prickly thing sure reminds me of those
Hey do you think I got that little tree from the mulch?
It's a Kousa Dogwood, the hardiest of dogwoods, and I'm checking to see if you can eat the berries. As for chestnuts, the american version was dessimated by a blight about 100 years ago so they rarely occur naturally anymore; but the horticulturalists have been working on establishing a cross with the american and chinese chestnuts for a hardier version with some success, but it takes a long time due to the slow growth rate and reproduction.
That's it for the botany lesson today.
How are ya?
You guys are so Smart!!! Thanks for letting me know. So should I move that Chestnut tree to a better place, It's too close to the house, I think I have two out there also, I'll go check before I go to work.
I'm good, How are you? Whats New?
Good info here - Maureen, did you study botany in school?
