Anyone got an idea on what species this tree is - potential milling

[Boon]

Hi all, I was told this is a red wood but as to what species it is am not sure, it's definitely not an Aussie tree seems more like one of those interesting trees from the States somewhere.

My guess is Hemlock but need close-ups of the needles/cones. Can't imagine it growing in a warm climate though.. Looks healthy enough.

It almost looks like an ash tree to me but the Bark is kind of hard to tell in the picture. The leaf shape is correct

 

[Boon]

Thanks for the replys, do my best to get a shot of the leaves and post

 

[derwoodii]

reckon you got a Californian Red wood, Sequoia or Metasequoia if leaves look like this or this

WTF? Not even close to ash. Hemlock or ceader would have at least been in the ball park considering they are coniferous trees.

In what picture do you idiots see needles on the tree? It looks like oval leaves to me so before you spout off make sure you know what you're talking about

Really? Do you even know what Ash bark looks like?

 

[rube2112]

Yup

Yup... Thats what I'm milling right now. . I also know that people don't have to act like jackasses. Oval leaves are not needles...

 

[Marshy]

It just seemed too obvious to me that the oval leaves do not belong to the tree in question by looking at the canopy of the tree. Also knowing how bark, leaves, and branch structure of Ash look it seems obvious to me that you're not really sure what Ash does look like.

Its clear to me that you're a jackass.

I might be a jackass but I don't spout off wild ass guesses.

Lol I'm pretty sure that all I said was about the leaf shape little feller.

 

[Marshy]

There's plenty of bark to tell its not an Ash. There is plenty of branches to tell the structure of wrong for Ash. A completely uneducated guess would be something in the pine family. IMO the possibility of it being an Ash was so far out in left field I laughed out loud.

I'm not arguing whether it's an ash or not. I just Don't appreciate the way people on this ridiculous commercialized forum respond to people who aren't in your little club.

 

[Marshy]

What ever you want to think.

 

[Boon]

..............working on getting a few pics of leaves and cones

 

[Enrico Carini]

looks like cedar to me, enough to build a deck

 

[scheffa]

The canopy looks like a sequoia, the bark kinda resembles that of a sequoia but maybe not quite as shaggy as others I have seen.
It's definitely not a common Aussie ash tree.
It's an exotic species of some sort and very keen to know what it ends up being

You think this is bad? The commercial fascism is much stronger on other forums. Much stronger.
