Re: What Species ID?
All, thanks for the input. I have noticed leaf shape variability in Paper mulberry ( M. papyrifera ) but not on White. Both trees are identical and have been planted so this is the reason for my suspicion regarding a cultivated variety. (I'm hopeful that Steve Galehouse will weigh in on a guess from...

Re: Tree's leaves genetically different from its roots
Gaines, This is an interesting topic. Attached are a couple of pics of a Dwarf Alberta spruce that has reverted back. Both of these trees were the same size and age at planting. One has reverted while the other has not. 12102009 037.jpg 12102009 038.jpg [/attachment] 12102009 039.jpg My understandin...

What Species ID?
NTS,
I recently found 2 of these trees and am trying to pin point the species identification. I am suspecting a cultivar of Mulberry (Morus) but am not sure. Both trees have been planted within a mountain chalet property. What do you think?

Re: Ideas for saving a Norway spruce from the power company?
Does anyone know of a way for the power company to alter the path of the power line (short of installing a whole new utility pole) so that it no longer touches the tree? Is there anything like a one or two foot extension or arm that can be installed on the pole that will slightly redirect the line ...

Ocean Invasive Exotics
ENTS, This may be of some interest to some regarding the potential introduction of invasives off of the coast of Oregon from the "recent" tsunami in Japan. One wonders how many exotic (or those classified as exotic) species have been introduced through natural disturbances and not just by the hand o...

Re: Old Growth on private land.... Does anyone here have it?
I intend to leave my land and house to some organization that would oversee the forest and the plant colonies in perpetuity, but I am not a millionaire, and without a substantial endowment, I know of no suitable willing takers. If anyone has any ideas, I will be happy to know! Ranger, Assuming that...
