platypus Posted December 6, 2013 Share #1  Posted December 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) After seeing the success of jip's "guess the plant" post I thought I might try my luck with an identification request for these old trees. Family legend has it that they grew from seeds, which were brought from Scotland back in 1833 and planted in the garden of the original stone homestead, parts of which are visible in the foreground of the shot. I'm sure someone from the UK will easily put a name to them. Thanks in anticipation Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted December 7, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted December 7, 2013 Dee, Â I have no idea what the trees are but you have a fine picture. Nice composition, colors and clarity of this pastoral picture with the sheep. By the way, do the sheep have longer legs on one side than the other? I always told my sons when they were little that animals that graze on the hills had longer legs on one side than on the other. They believed me for a while.

pop Posted December 7, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted December 7, 2013 I can't help you here, Dee. However, I would like to suggest to show some close up shots of some leaves and - if possible - of some flowers. For some trees, even the shape of the complete plant (what's above the ground, I mean) can be very distinctive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl G Posted December 7, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted December 7, 2013 I'm useless as well, my one required Plant Biology course was promptly forgot. I do like the little pastoral scene! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted December 8, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted December 8, 2013 Sorry Dee, no idea what type of tree is pictured. The image itself is enjoyable to view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share #6 Â Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks everyone for looking and answering.....I had kind of hoped someone from the UK might have immediately recognised them, as that was where they came from originally. They quite resemble elm trees though the bark is distinctly different and they don't send out suckers as elms do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted December 9, 2013 Share #7  Posted December 9, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Identification is difficult without a closer look at the leaves. I’m guessing that these trees could be Wych Elm. You should be able to confirm it, or otherwise, by comparing the leaves with the illustrations and description on this site: Trees for Life - Species Profile: Wych elm  Whatever they are, you’ve made a very interesting photo of them.
