What Kind of Tree Is That? 4

In trying to identify a tree for Karen, I found a really neat website.

It asks a series of diagnostic questions to help identify US trees. In about five mouse clicks, I had the answer. Sure beats leafing (as it were) through a book of pictures.

Here’s the URL.

It was an ash. Now Chris can make bats. Or at least, holy homerun, Batman, bat pens.

    I’m not getting involved in this one.  You’ll have to work it out with what’s-her-name.

    Yeah, he has the machines to do it. He doesn’t have the wood. The tree stays as a tree, not in a cut up variation.

    It’s all well & good, but if you don’t have any idea what the scientific or common name of a tree is, don’t look to figure out what it is. I’ve just spent 15 minutes looking for 1 in the back, & have officially stopped. Irritated, too.
