Help With Identification

So I was at my girlfriends house this weekend and I was walking around her yard looking at the trees when I stumped upon these. They smell like rotting flesh! What are these trees? Dogwood? Flowering pear tree?

There was also this tree that stumps me on what it could be HELP:

Looks like a sycamore but I can't be certain. The lighting in this picture isn't letting me see the bark. Their bark almost has a camo look to it. Sycamores have big, broad leaves...resembling a maple leaf but more spread and not as pointed.

They usually grow near creeks and marshy, wet areas. Tough splitting for firewood.

Thanks man, you can't see the bark from the image above that one? I will shoot more photos closer to it, the trunk is just so odd to me it stands out, and I love that beautiful root flaring it has.

My Little Buddies

Those Flowering trees are Bradford pears, all flower rarely fruit. very nice predictable street tree.

Bradford Pears you say? Thanks! They smell like s*** I don't think I would eat anything off them. And ya know... I never ever thought of it like that with them being so close to the road those would be awesome massive street trees someday

I was just noticing some today that were planted about 20+ years ago and they were really quite nice looking and healthy.
they are certainly survivors in a harsh environment.

Do they grow fast? Basically there was a condemned factory down the road a few years ago and the factory's roof collapsed sending this stuff into the air all over (possible anapestics) and the town tested everyone's property by the square foot or something along those lines around that block. Her front yard got hit with whatever it was and the town had to cut down some huge pine trees so they offered her a choice of trees to choose from for free and she choose fruit (well she got stinky flowers with little balls)
:hmm3grin2orange:

well I may retract then, that could be flowering crab apples, My mind is set to a much more southern climate. Bradford pears grow like mad here. but they stay very predictable and regular.

Yeah I haven't seen these trees around anywhere before. I will take more photo's and follow up on this tree when it begins dropping flowers and developing its offspring. Thanks for your follow ups appreciate it

Can anyone identify this as an Elm tree? A very dead one haha

This is some sort of a maple (sugar?) with an intense case of girdling roots!

Beech Tree?

Is this just an oddly shaped/pruned Beech tree? Or....?

 

[PinkFloydEffect]

Flowers have dropped now:

This is a close up:

Looks like I already have de-volcano mulching work to do:

This tree isint in her yard so I had to get a picture from the road, any help?

All I could get was a black shadow of a leaf:

This pine is not going anywhere, look at the root flares! (graveyard)

This is behind the grave yard in the woods, kind of weird... looks like someone purposely snapped every tree top in a particular area...

that may be left over damage from the big ice storm we had a few years back. did a lot of damage, mostly topped trees like that.

It's odd, out of several acres of these trees this is the only square like this.

S***

Uh ohh, sorry grandma! :hmm3grin2orange:

I was doing some pruning on a tree and thought I would make clean up a bit faster by throwing logs down the driveway over her car well... the last log was pretty heavy and ya... totally did not make it over the car! Oh well s*** happens.

Unidentified Pine

I spotted this along the railroad and I walked over 5 miles and this is THE only one I saw. It's an odd Pine of some sort, kind of soft and fluffy looking. Any idea what it is?

 

[PinkFloydEffect]

What is this beast? The trunk resembles a Beech but the leaves are a dark maroon / brown.

I came across a row of Elms I think? They are young and possibly regrowth shoots.

This should grow up to be a very shapely elm tree someday

Anyone identify this tree for me?

Someone cut this limb off and there is a lot of vigor in the tree so its throwing out suckers like this, if I removed them would it increase the chance or rate of rot or would it direct the energy toward closing in the wound?
