She will be even prettier in a few weeks when she changes color :)

Found in Hawaii

Love this tree. It looks like it was topped a long time ago and the branches became massive leaders.

In downtown Evansville, Indiana, a few hundred acres of bottomland hardwood forest have been left completely untouched by humans, save for reserve visitors and conservationists. We were in awe & I’m anxious to come back & walk the trails we missed.
Though we didn’t see any specific trees with signage sharing their measurements, the reserve says there are many 160’+ trees here, as well as a 204’ cherrybark oak, the only tree (that I’m aware of) east of the Mississippi measured over 200 feet tall.

I know these are small fry compared to a lot of the beasts out West, but having never been further west than Amarillo, I was completely blown away. No clue how this place, only 2 hours away, slipped under my radar for so long. I’m sure I’ll have more to share in the future.

We have these suckers everywhere on our land

Garbage truck lifted its dumpster and knocked our lower branch clear off the tree. Beautiful oak in the parkway (I believe it’s a white oak). I know the city is going to do whatever they have to do but it would be a real shame to lose it. It’s about 35 feet tall.

Location: northern Illinois

Hi everyone, I am by no means a tree expert and we just bought a house with these lovely large shade trees that I am trying to ID for care. I would appreciate some input. Google has been inconclusive.
