Tree identification help..

[Steve Randles]

I would like to know what type of tree this is a branch from. It was in a pine forest, all mixed pines. But this tree I photographed only grew to between 12-18ft, none of its bigger brothers in the forest where displaying these, and the whole tree was covered in these little buds which where approx half to one cm in size.

 

 

 

Any ideas anyone?

Its a trifid, maybe not then, but I bet I'm nearer if I say its a Larch!

Nice to see we have a FULL SIZE photo of said branch.

Good job you didn't photograph the whole tree.

Sorry Ferret...I'll go edit a little...

Looking at the bark texture I would have said it was a species of Larch, but the size you give goes against that. Stumped.... :confused:

I've just posted this thread on another forum fao a lumberjack/tree surgeon/hedge layer chappie to give his views.

If it's not a Larch I'll eat my pine cones.

A wooden one!

European Larch or Larix decidua
