tnlogger · « **Reply #2 on:** June 15, 2006, 11:20:46 pm »

nope but there is a tree in these woods that looks like it but that one you use the roots and bark for as a herb and for tea

Can't help with the tree ID because I am trying to figure out who's picture is on that small limb in your first tree picture. Maybe if you enhance the picture we can see better.

Is it Al Gore?

Butternut?

Jeff · « **Reply #5 on:** June 16, 2006, 01:28:23 am »

It sure has the form of the butternut that used to grow at the Farm.

UNCLEBUCK · « **Reply #6 on:** June 16, 2006, 01:33:54 am »

As a Tennesseean, I REALLY RESENT the al gore crack; isn't he from Washington, D.C.

What would he be doing in East Tennessee?

Jeff · « **Reply #10 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:35:31 am »

Is Gary and I the only ones that see that figure of a fellow? It looks more like Buster Keaton in a derby to me.

beenthere · « **Reply #11 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:40:03 am »

Nope, he is there for me too.

But I'm not too good at rememberin names.

Fact, there is an image on both limbs now.

(first pic) I think that pic is growing faces.

tnlogger · « **Reply #12 on:** June 16, 2006, 07:19:12 pm »

wal I done guess I'll havta go back up there and get a real good close up for you'll. You know i could be a pic of that there peanut farmer too

woodbeard · « **Reply #13 on:** June 16, 2006, 07:31:14 pm »

So this tree is not the one you make tea out of? 'cause that would be sassafrass.
This one is sourwood

Gary_C · « **Reply #14 on:** June 16, 2006, 07:35:00 pm »

Jeff

You could be right, but then again what would Buster Keaton be doing up in a tree in Tennessee?

On the other hand, Al Gore could just be a hugging that tree with his hands behind his back and making a funny face.

thurlow

Even though you would not even vote for him, you "Tennesseean's" can't disown him that easily.

woodbeard · « **Reply #15 on:** June 16, 2006, 07:46:42 pm »

He used to be listed in my local phone book, actually. Gore, Albert Jr, Vice President of the United States of America was the actual listing. I used to think that was pretty cool.

He's unlisted now.

tnlogger · « **Reply #16 on:** June 16, 2006, 08:12:47 pm »

goerge Thats what I thought when I took the pic but then i plealed some bark and it were yeller in side. so locast or as some here say hedge

Timburr · « **Reply #17 on:** June 16, 2006, 08:19:58 pm »

Me thinks it's a picture of Stan Laural, 'cos his "partner in crime" Oliver Hardy is out on a larger limb.

woodbeard · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2006, 05:54:35 am »

Hmm.. Hedge is what they call "Bodock" aka Osage Orange.
I could see it being a black locust ( also called yellow locust ) but it is certianly not honeylocust, the bark is all wrong.
It really looks like sourwood.
What were the leaves like?

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2006, 08:23:57 am »

I've seen different locust species here with similar bark in that pic. The locusts up here are non native to the region.

Tom · « **Reply #20 on:** June 17, 2006, 08:32:53 am »

The bark looks a little course and light colored for Persimmon and I can't see the leaves but there are two tests that I was taught for Persimmon. It is usually the darker (sometimes black) trunk in the forest, and a hole drilled through the bark with a knife will reveal yellow or gold tissue.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2006, 08:36:55 am »

What were the flowers like? The black locusts in towns are flowering now in my area.

eldorado · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2006, 02:10:46 pm »

I would say it's a sassafras.

tnlogger · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2006, 09:29:07 pm »

wal now I done stumped meself I went riding with my son yesterday and we went up tp ricks. well paul being how he is we went under the hill and I showed him the locast. wal I'll tell ya he turned around and asked me if i were going blind or just feeble minded $:-\$ . Then he put that there stupid I gotcha grin on and said it's a sour wood ya old codjure.
But being as how i am I was wrong and him and wood beard is right

If'n you took a picture of the leaves, we could drag this argument out a little longer...
