When Jeff and Tammy were here, this tree was about 10' tall. Now, it's 16-18' tall. Whatcha think it is

ARKANSAWYER · « **Reply #1 on:** December 25, 2006, 09:18:12 am »

ROYAL PAWLOWINA (SP?)

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #2 on:** December 25, 2006, 09:25:46 am »

Don't think so

It's a name everyone will know.

Gotta go check out the common name for Royal Pawlonia.

Nope, NOT Royal Pawlonia.

Is it a tree at all? I think it might be a serious weed or sumptin . . . . .

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #17 on:** December 25, 2006, 09:10:51 pm »

YEP, definitely a tree. Got a scientific name and all, AND, it IS considered a weed.

WDH · « **Reply #18 on:** December 25, 2006, 09:35:37 pm »

Does it range as far north as the Southern US?

Donna · « **Reply #19 on:** December 25, 2006, 09:39:04 pm »

It sure looks like a young Paulownia tree.

LeeB · « **Reply #20 on:** December 26, 2006, 01:42:14 am »

papaya

TexasTimbers · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2006, 07:26:44 am »

That's a good guess Lee but I have seen a papaya tree and my memory says the leaves aren't that big.

If Lee is not right does it bloom flowers or produce fruit? Mybe its a mango tree I have never seen one of those.

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #22 on:** December 26, 2006, 07:31:13 am »

I really think it's a Tropical. No fruit.

YEP, it's Tropical, Central and South America. CAN grow to 80 ' and a 30" trunk in 6 years.

If left to grow, it can attain 6' dia.

Definitely not Paulownia.

crtreedude · « **Reply #23 on:** December 26, 2006, 10:12:31 am »

Hard to tell from the photo, but I would guess Balsa.

TexasTimbers · « **Reply #24 on:** December 26, 2006, 10:37:37 am »

Oh that's no fair you live there.

I had Balsa on the tips of my fingers so I googled an image of it and it didn't look like it to me and so I didn't offer it. Plus Harold said a "weed" tree so I ruled it out for that too.

crtreedude · « **Reply #25 on:** December 26, 2006, 10:53:52 am »

Balsa IS a weed tree down here. Scratch the surface in good soil and you will have a balsa tree.

Besides, I didn't show LUMBER.

Yeppers I know Harold. I was just saying - in my own wierd way - that Fred answering your trivia was about like me answering my own. But I guess I should have posted a pre-sawmill picture of the wood.

Lemme search my files and see if I can "stump" myself . . . . .

ummm

I need some balsa for my biplane project.

I was going to throw in another guess of that tree even if it's been ID's. I was gonna guess giant Devil's Club. Oplopanax horridus

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #40 on:** July 06, 2008, 06:39:53 pm »

Any of y'all remember the little tree in the beginning of this post

Here's the little feller, 1½ years later.

We had a discussion a long while back, whether or not trees grow UP as they grow. The discussion was about fence wire being too high for the fence to keep in cattle. Check out the rope marks on this tree, where I tie Reina's clothesline. The second pic is for comparison to the height from the ground. The original line was tied at 5½ feet, because Reina is short.

That line is now nearly 10 feet off the ground.

So, yes, trees DO grow UP as they grow up.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #41 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:16:04 pm »

I don't know what you mean by line here.

If you mean clothes line, then it moved up because Harold moved it there.

If you mean that growth node, then that is where the bud scar is for that year's growth. Not a scar caused by the clothes line wire.

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #42 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:20:33 pm »

Sharpen up yer Bi-focals, SD. That top LINE is the ORIGINAL place I tied that clothesline, 1½ years ago. I have dropped it down several times, so Reina can reach the line.

That bud scar is NOT the line in question.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #43 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:24:13 pm »

Then blame it on Fred, he's been up to hanky panky and moving Reina's clothes line.

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #44 on:** July 06, 2008, 07:28:52 pm »

Even Fred can't reach THAT high.

WDH · « **Reply #45 on:** July 06, 2008, 10:00:48 pm »

Wow Harold!

You have discovered a new trees species, the only one in the world where the cambium grows up as well as out. You better get some cuttings so that you can patent it

.

It is either that or you have a climbing clothes line

Harold
Just hafta know what kind of tree that is...any ideas?

How high do you think that "line" moved up that tree in one year?

Dodgy Loner · « **Reply #49 on:** July 07, 2008, 07:38:11 am »

beenthere - it's a balsa.

Harold, I find this pretty interesting. The phenomenon you are describing here is not possible according to our understanding of tree physiology

. I'd like to see the same "experiment" repeated with something that can't be moved, the height of which is measured at consistent, repeated intervals.

Fla._Deadheader · « **Reply #50 on:** July 07, 2008, 07:41:59 am »

Tree is Balsa. I'm getting ready to cut the limbs off, and send them to the Donkey, for his Bi-Plane project. After drying, they should go light freight charges, so, he won't be paying a fortune for the wood.

I would guess, without measuring, that the top line scar is 16" above where the line is tied now.

I never thought this could happen, either. That's why I bothered to revive this thread.

Tom · « **Reply #51 on:** July 07, 2008, 10:35:06 am »

Reminds me of a joke.
Two farmers had gone together and bought a big mule. Trying to get him into the barn they found that the door was too short. They were in the midst of tearing the top of the doorway apart to add some height to it when a new college grad from town stopped by and studied their plight.

"Why don't you just dig a bit of the dirt away at the bottom of the doorway", he asked, and then promptly left, having solved the problem in his mind.

One farmer looked at the other and said, "just like a college boy, can't he see that this mule's ears are too long? His legs are fine."

the balsa tree was used by the polynesians to build the kon tiki rafts they sailed from peru to tahiti this is how the islands of the south pacific were settled
