Is there any way to tell at this stage whether this is a true American smoketree?
This tree was just shipped from a nursery in Missouri to my location in central Texas. The nursery has it labeled as Cotinus obovatus and the pot ID states the same. However, I was doing more research as the sapling was on the way and I see that there are quite a few varieties/hybrids of the European smoketree that are often mistaken for American. I'm inclined to trust the nursery ID because they seem to specialize in natives, though I know sometimes nurseries can get it wrong. I'd prefer to know whether it's a true native.
Also, is there a subreddit that can possibly comment on the apparent health of the sapling based on the pics? I'm new and learning, and just want to be sure I'm giving this guy a good start - it's my understanding that smoketrees can develop leaf spot, so I don't know if the color variation I'm seeing is due to that or the time of year (temps are also high, but this sapling was just delivered today after 1-2 day shipping, potted in a well packed box).

I have a suspicion but want to hear others thoughts 🧐
Edit: NOT a Scots pine, didn't include a pic but I checked and the orange flaking bark wasn't there.

Photo taken in England. The bark is stunning! Like a scarlet colour.

Pics are current (August/Sept). What is wrong with it, and what can I do to rehabilitate it? Brown rot? I keep the base of the tree clear (no dirt or mulch etc. piled up around it). I water regularly, and it has also been a wet august. the plants around it are non-competitive. It is a cherry blossom tree. Losing leaves rapidly in the last couple weeks, yellowing and browning at the edges, curling for the last couple months or so. The tree behind it is a redbud, does not show signs of stress or disease.

I have had this tree in my back yard since I purchased my house but this is the first year it's had a yield of fruit. I'm assuming it's some kind of plum tree but I just want to make sure it's not some poisonous shrub haha

Sorry about dark pics will retake tomorrow if we cant identify tonight. Upstate NY. No leaves on tree.

I found this poor fella by my dumpster, and I’d like to see if I can save him. He doesn’t have any leaves, but he does have buds on every branch so I think he might have the spunk to pull through this.
If I can get him on the road to recovery and know what he is, I think I can get him planted in the ground!
A weird thing is that a little green fruit was half-buried in his soil and I don’t know what it is or if it’s related to the tree at all. It’s not a lime, it’s got a hard pit inside and only a thin layer of yellow flesh and seeds. It smells spicy, like nutmeg or something similar.
Any ideas are appreciated!

My wife and I love these trees in our neighborhood and would like to plant one in the future but having trouble identifying the species. We live in Augusta, Ga.

Newbie here. Brooklyn NY which makes me think it would be a London Plane, but the fruit appears to be single stemmed? Let me know your thoughts, thank you!

Central Florida. I live in an HOA and it has to be replaced with an identical or I have to go through the approval process. Died this past winter along with many others in the area.
It looks close to a triple Foxtail, but something feels slightly different than a foxtail. Close to an Alexander also, but nearly positive it is not an alexander. Also thought maybe Christmas, but I think Christmas fronds were thicker. Though I can't totally remember what this looked like when alive.
Thanks!

I initially thought it was a peony, or something a squirrel dropped that sprouted. I did put some cut branches in the bottom of the bed before covering with soil. Is it possible that one of those put out roots and started growing again?

I recently bought a house in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and moved in and I was wondering what type of tree this is. It looks kinda like an avacado tree but it has no fruit and it has scattered pink bulbs or flowers that have yet to bloom.
r/treeidentification • u/Over-Possession2239 • 2d ago
These are likely all the same type of elm, but captioned them with which is which (1 2 and 3) just for good measure.
I feel like every time I walk past a big elm with small leaves I write it off as a siberian elm (too cold for cedar elms up here). Not sure if this is a safe bet or not
