Young trees have a smooth, brown bark that becomes gray-black with rough scaly ridges as the tree matures. The leaves are alternate, simple and tardily deciduous, remaining on the tree until mid-winter; they are 3–12 centimeters (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) long and 2–6 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad, variable in shape, most ...
Chart illustrating leaf morphology terms. The following terms are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (that is, the leaf blade or 'lamina' is undivided) or compound (that is, the leaf blade is divided into two or more leaflets). [1]
Most Catalpa are deciduous trees; they typically grow to 12–18 metres (40–60 ft) tall, with branches spreading to a diameter of about 6–12 metres (20–40 ft). They are fast growers and a 10-year-old sapling may stand about 6 metres (20 ft) tall. They have characteristic large, heart-shaped leaves, which in some species are three-lobed.
Quercus hartwissiana is a large deciduous tree, reaching heights of 35 metres (115 feet), [1] with umbrella-shaped crown and ascending branches. The bark is thick, finely furrowed, almost black. The shoots are dark reddish-brown and bald.
The leaves are deciduous, opposite (or whorled), large, heart shaped, 18–30 cm (7.1–11.8 in) long and 13–21 cm (5.1–8.3 in) broad, pointed at the tip and softly hairy beneath. [5] The leaves generally do not color in autumn before falling; instead, they either fall abruptly after the first hard freeze, or turn a slightly yellow-brown ...
Its leaves are dotted with resin glands [2] [3] The leaf base is cordate (heart-shaped) [2] [3] [4] Young shoots are not hairy. [4] It is generally diploid (28 chromosomes) [2] Since many of these characteristics vary from tree to tree, ideally several of these characteristics should be noted before making a positive identification.
Populus grandidentata is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to North America, found mostly in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Leaves are similar to Populus tremuloides, but slightly larger and having larger teeth. [3] The leaves tremble in the wind as those of P. tremuloides do. Bark of younger trees is olive-green ...
The tulip tree is a popular specimen tree in landscape, turning a rusty orange in Fall. Tulip trees make magnificently shaped specimen trees, and are very large, growing to about 35 m (110 ft) in good soil. They grow best in deep well-drained loam which has thick dark topsoil. They show stronger response to fertilizer compounds (those with low ...
