Identify tree?

SteveR · 29th December 2007, 06:32 PM

Hello there,

Can anyone tell me what kind of trees this may be?

Thank you

newguy18 · 29th December 2007, 06:54 PM

An actual photo might help but if I had to guess maybe a yellow[slash] pine.

JayD · 29th December 2007, 08:02 PM

Hi SteveR,
Honestly Steve, Based on information you have put forward I would say that this a caricature of a tree,Yes this reply might seem a little cheeky, but it is based on the information submitted....mmmm..further thought Tree. spp

Funny you mention that JayD.

The young lady who did the magnetic decals for my truck sent me a whole palette of tree icons to pick through. That pictured tree (albeit with a different background) is an almost exact match to one of the one's she sent.

The palette had something to do with fonts and such, and were more like artists renditions of examples of tree forms, and not actual representations of living trees. It may be close to some species though.

It might be what newguy18 said: -
Slash Pine Pinus eliottii.
It's from the South of the US so let them (the locals) answer.

Most Aussies and Kiwis wouldn't know it,
unless they were in forestry.
It's used as the alternative to Pinus radiata.
Widely used in Forestry in that part of SE Qld behind Tin Can Bay,
Wide Bay, south of Hervey Bay, inland from Fraser Island.

I don't think it's grown in the UK,
so that makes the second and third answers (from JayD and Therrin)
possibilities too if the question came from someone in the UK
(that is, an idealised tree suitable for a decal).

My hunch, ponderosa pine

TrevMcRev · 30th December 2007, 01:06 AM

My guess:
Family: Microsoftacae
Genus: Illustratis
Specis:clipartii

Ekka · 30th December 2007, 01:48 AM

My hunch, he does graphics and got questioned.

azrael · 30th December 2007, 02:23 AM

I thought it was some sort of smart-a... joke when I saw it.
There are some very good guesses there guys...I thought maybe its Woodetrei obscura.

Therrin · 30th December 2007, 02:32 AM

Am I allowed to switch camps? lol

I've seen stuff like that up above Yosemite in the Tuolemne Meadows area, up close to the timber line It's been several years now so I didn't remember it till I saw the pictures of the ponderosa pine.

That is... if that is what that is a representation of.

azrael · 30th December 2007, 02:46 AM

Equally Pinus pinaster...

pomme · 30th December 2007, 08:18 AM

My guess would be Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris

pomme · 30th December 2007, 08:27 AM

Scots pinetree.jpg

This is a real one not the best example but beautiful none the less (hope this works not posted an attachment for a while)

TreeDimensional · 30th December 2007, 09:50 AM

My guess, Pinus contorta var. latifolia

newguy18 · 30th December 2007, 10:07 AM

if indeed it would be a slash pine then around here they are notorious for breaking in half.They don't usually devolp rot unless of course they are dead but just weak codominant stems and overall soft wood.
Slash pine
I have one in my back yard that doesn't follow the natural growth pattern of them because its out in the open.

Can I ask a small off topic question here? Why would anyone use magnetic decals on a truck? Is that frequently done over there? We use stickers or paint jobs instead but maybe magnetic signs are better in some ways...
Could anyone explain this please?

newguy18 · 30th December 2007, 12:17 PM

It seems to be more popular over here espically on pickup trucks so if you decide to sell your truck you can keep your biz logos.Its a heck of a lot cheaper than a paint job.

Ekka · 30th December 2007, 12:38 PM

Those magnetic signs rust ya panel work fast!

From experience, give it a miss.
