hi all new member here. can any of the tree experts identify the enclosed trees i am going to get some proper labels to go on them so could do with knowing what they are. some of the pics i have shown with a coin so you can judge what size the leaves are. thanks richard
1 Abies pinsapo (Spanish Fir) 2 Picea sitchensis (Sitka Spruce) 3 Picea sitchensis (Sitka Spruce) 4 Picea sitchensis (Sitka Spruce) 5 Abies concolor subsp. lowiana (Low's White Fir) 6 Abies concolor subsp. lowiana (Low's White Fir) 7 Abies pinsapo (Spanish Fir) and (foliage, extreme right) Cedrus deodara (Deodar Cedar) 8 Abies pinsapo (Spanish Fir)
thanks michael for your help sorry i was so long replying. 1 6&7 are the same tree,1 2&3 are the same and 5&8 are the same i see you have given me a list of 4 trees. thanks richard
Just the three names for the three 'main' trees in the pics; one of the pics (#7) has a fourth tree at the extreme edge of the photo I guess my browser is showing the pics in a different order to yours! - mine shows 1, 7 & 8 as the same tree, and 5 & 6 as the same tree.
Try to do this by descriptions . . . The tree with the long, soft needles (with coin in pic) is Abies concolor subsp. lowiana (Low's White Fir) The other tree with a coin in the pic, where the needles are about the same length as the coin's diameter, is Abies pinsapo (Spanish Fir) The third tree, not pictured with a coin, is Picea sitchensis (Sitka Spruce)
