Help - Tree Identification (picts included)
 

Hello,

I recently bought a house and have identified most of the trees in my yard,
with the exception of this one. Can anyone help out? Zone 5. :)

http://www.digitalcrowd.com/~scottftp/tree/tree2.jpg

Both are the same tree. Tried to get close-ups for those leave lovers. Tried
finding it through those tree identification things on the web with no luck,
but I don't always understand what they are asking for when going through
those menu trees.

Thanks very much.

Scott

Some kind of Magnolia: except for the pointed tips, it looks like a
Saucer or a Sweet Bay Magnolia.

I agree. Definitely a magnolia, but which species is a question. Many deciduous
magnolias will produce seedheads similar in form to those in the pic and there
are dozens of species and countless more hybrid forms. Post a picture when it
blooms next spring and you might get a more accurate ID.

You can do a Google search on "Magnolia", maybe try filtering out
references to Bed & Breakfasts and the Grateful Dead to cut your results
down to 5 figures, and see if you find one that matches. I I.D.'d my dog
by entering "sheepdog", and found her picture on the second page of
responses under "Catalan Sheepdog". Also, Google will do an image
search, returning only pages that contain images and showing thumbnails
of those images.
