What is this tree?

[Tacotom]

Does anyone know what kind of tree this is?

 

[Peanut]

The photo's of the leaves aren't clear enough for me to see the detail... I can only see greenish leaves and what might be white blooms... Can you post photos that show details like this?

 

[Patchouli]

Looks like two different tree leaf types to me. Isn't the top one a magnolia? Would that app @hiwall posted here recently help with this?
(And it looks like the German Shepherd might have her attention on something exciting).

 

[Peanut]

I think you are right @Patchouli I see what looks like two species and a possible third. A couple of the magnolia species do grow that far north but not on the great plains, not a place I'd expect to see one. It could have been ordered from a nursery and set out there.

Castor what? The castor bean plant is not a tree. What are you referring too?

This member is trying to find out about a tree.

Nope not a castor bean tree,''

It is a tree and can get up to 40 feet tall,although they do call it a small tree or large shrub. Ours was huge and it shot beans out .

I can tell yall that tree is not a Magnolia though.

Castor Bean, <em>Ricinus communis</em>

and it sure isn't a castor bean srub or tree either,its been 14 yr since we had one and I got it mixed up with another tree.

It looks like a dogwood. Was it nearly covered in flowers? A pic of the trunk would help too.

I just noticed the tree is in S.D. so it has to like really cold weather.

@Meerkat from the link you provided.... can grow to... over a few years in frost-free climates. it is easily grown as a warm season annual in temperate climates, The plant is killed when the temperature drops below 32F.

Any further north than Montgomery al and the caster is an annual, not a tree... grown just like a flower in your garden or a stalk of corn. It dies with the first frost.

Yes, first thing I noticed was the location... South Dakota

They grow up into Canada in the east. Probably a transplant from somewhere.

Looking at the flower placement again, I think it is a fruit tree of some kind. North American Plum or Cherry I would say

It gtre over our septic field and it as there for a few years before we cut it down but maybe the ground was warmed from being over the tank or we had soem mild weatherMy friend i nJacksonville Fl gave me the seed ir is a beautiful shrub that turns into a huge bushy tree.We were told they are poisonous to animals plus it kept shooting beans so we cut it down. It is a sub or tropical tree.

That sounds about right to me too.

By the way folks, I have eaten a north American plum. Let me tell you, for being as small as they are, they are the best tasting plums that I have ever eaten. They are also the only plum native to north America. They are about the size of a golf ball but they pack a punch. If I were to plant an orchard these would be in it.

 

[Tacotom]

It was sent to me from my kids in Wyoming. I thought maybe a plum but you are right. Not really enough detail to say for sure

 

[Patchouli]

@Cnsper is the leaf shape correct for a dogwood? This is fun. Context! Where is it growing? How big is it?
The other one with the really big leaves reminds me a fig tree. Don't know why, because I clearly don't know what a magnolia flower looks like.

Well now you can tell them what kind of tree its not.

The pics you are looking at in the second post are from @Peanut not @Tacotom

 

[Patchouli]

It's ok, I wasn't clear on my delivery. I don't know anything about Tacotom. is he in this thread too?

Hi tom, Sorry. I was hasty in posting. bowing out now

 

[Tacotom]

Ok. He sent two more pictures. See if these help at all.

 

[Tacotom]

Thanks for all the help everyone

 

[Meerkat]

Thanks for all the help everyone

Anytime Tom.

 

[Patchouli]

From missouribotanicalgarden.org website, in association with S. Dakota tree list, prunus maackii. Looks a little bit like it.
Sorry, edited to add, it is a chokecherry

 

[Cnsper]

Thanks for all the help everyone

I believe you have a plum tree. Only time will tell now. Here are a few photos to compare. It may not be a north American plum but it does look like a plum tree. Does the bark have kinda rings around the tree?

 

[Patchouli]

IS it a quince?

 

[Cnsper]

Are there thorns on the branches?

 

[Tacotom]

That last picture Crisper sent looks just like it. Thanks

 

[joel]

I thought plum or flowering cherry, but with Cnsper photo I agree it looks like a plum & time will tell.
So show us what you get this fall,please.
