Santa Blowmold for our Backyard?
I'm planning on adding another reindeer to our front yard blowmold collection this year, so maybe I'll splurge and get both.
Walnut vs Tree of Heaven vs. Sumac Backyard Identification - June 2020
That's a look *up* from the ground through a young, skinny tree limb as well as a larger, more mature (and confirmed) Black Walnut tree. The leaves, from a distance look similar. Back last year, I mentioned that I wanted to try to identify if a couple of young trees were worth keeping or if I should remove them. And, knowing that I wanted to hold myself accountable, I included it as #15 on my to-do list for the yard this year . After poking around on the web in various places , I think I've settled on this clear cut detail that I found on r/WhatIsThisPlant on Reddit : Walnut tree leaves have no notches. Tree of Heaven (an invasive tree), do. From u/blacksheep998 : Ailanthus has a small notch at the base of it's leaflets. Black walnut leaflets, while slightly toothed, lacked that distinctive nub. So, that's first thing to check: Does the little tree leaves have those 'thumbs' or notches? *Looks closer*... Sure, enough....
Get it!!!
