Tree identification help needed
We have this tree on our property and would appreciate help to identify what
kind this is. I looked in the books and couldn't figure it out: http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree01.jpg http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree02.jpg |

This is in Orange County (Southern California). I tried to also take a
photo of the entire tree but there is another different type of tree in front of it blocking the view so I could just take a photo of the top portion. It's pretty tall, perhaps 20-30 feet tall. |

I would cut a small branch and take it to a local nursery for identification. When you ask, let them know whether it goes dormant (even very briefly) in the winter, which will help the identification. As an alternative to a nursery, you might visit a nearby community college that has a botany department or even UCI or UCR. -- David E.

Yet, when I do some research on that species, the hackberry does not have a range in Texas either. So, I'm more confused now. http://forestry.about.com/od/hardwoods/ss/hackberry.htm -- Dave |

The photo tree has vanilla like seed pods showing over what appear to be red petals. Since we don't know where the tree is located, I would call it an exotic. |

I took some more photos including a close-up of the leaves and the trunk
after we had it trimmed. Maybe this will help to identify? http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree03.JPG http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree04.JPG http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree05.JPG http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree06.JPG http://www.statuaryplace.com/images/unknowntree07.JPG |

Do the leaves have a strong smell? does it have white sap? describe the flowers - they may not be conspicuous if you have a scanner scan a branch and post it/ -- 09=ix |

(Ornamental Ficus are indoor plants only, where I live.) Maybe Ficus microcarpa?
