There are three of these trees in my backyard. They are beautiful. I want them to survive. They are deciduous. I'm guessing they are maple. Right now, they stand at least 40-50' tall.
What are they? I'm in love with them.I love most trees. Willows and dogwoods are two of my favorite. And these trees. I can't describe what I feel when I stand below them, looking up into their gently waving branches. I'm afraid they are not doing well. I had them trimmed and there were a lot of large, dead branches.
Anyway, tell me what they are!
I THINK they're a Japanese Maple..Let me find out for you!

Have you found the answer?
ReplyDeleteIt's driving me crazy,
I'm thinking they're red maples. Too tall to be Japanese maples. I think they are sick or need to be fertilized.
ReplyDeleteYou have to save them! I know, I'm so helpful :)
ReplyDeleteI love trees too. It makes me sad when the storms here in Ohio ruin them :( Especially if they're really old (i.e. really tall with big trunks, lol) because it has lived so long and then one bad storm ruins it all!
