Meet the Trees! THE CONIFERS  1. Spruce - short, sharp, 4-sided needles (can roll between thumb and finger) Loading…  2. Hemlock - short, flat needles with 2 white stripes on the underside  3. Yew - short, flat needles (no white stripes), often looks more like a shrub Loading…  4. White Pine - long needles in clusters of 5, soft  5. Red Pine - long needles in clusters of 2  6. Scotch Pine - shorter, twisted needles in clusters of 2  7. Arborvitae/Cedar - flat overlapping “scales”  BROADLEAF DECIDUOUS TREES  8. Norway Maple - 5 or 7 lobes, u-shaped sinuses, milky white sap from the petiole, sometimes “tar spots” Loading…  9. Sugar Maple - 5 lobes, u-shaped sinuses (no milky petiole sap)  10. Silver Maple - 5 lobes, deep v-shaped sinuses, silver underside of leaf  11. Red Maple - 3 or 5 lobes, shallow v-shaped sinuses, silver underside  12. Box Elder - pinnately compound leaves, different # lobes per leaflet, white powder on petiole  13. Dogwood - simple leaf, smooth margin, curved veins merge at the tip, often has berries  14. Ash - diamond-shapedgrooves in bark, pinnately compound leaves  15. Pin Oak - very deep sinuses, bristle hair tips  16. Red Oak - shallowsinuses (compared to Pin Oak) with bristle hair tips 17. White Oak - wavy margin, deep sinuses (NO bristle hairs)  18. Chestnut Oak - wavy margin, velvety feel on underside, (NO bristle hairs)  19. Sassafras - leaves with1, 2 (“oven mitt”), or 3 (“dinosaur footprint”) lobes, citrus smell  20. Quaking Aspen - tall, straight, white trunk, flat petioles cause leaves to “quake”  21. Big Tooth Aspen - large, rounded teeth, bark has extremely deep furrows with red lines  22. Basswood -simple, toothed, heart-shaped leaf  23. Sycamore - Huge toothed leaves, bark peels causing “camouflage” appearance  24. Gray Birch - grayish-white bark with horizontal lines (called lenticels), trunk in clusters, leaves double-toothed and spade-shaped  25. Sweet Birch - simple, toothed leaf, dark bark with horizontal lines (called lenticels)  26. Yellow Birch - yellowish, peeling bark with lenticels, simple, toothed leaves Loading…  27. American Beech - long, pointy bud, simple, toothed leaves thin like tissue paper, bark smooth and gray 28. Thorn Apple (Hawthorn) - small, double-toothed leaves, many short thorns on the branches  29. Wild Black Cherry - dark “potato chip bark,” trunk often grows crooked, long and narrow leaves  30. Hop Hornbeam - Small tree, “paper shredder” bark, simple, toothed leaves.  31. Musclewood - trunks in clusters, light gray bark contoured like a flexed muscle, simple toothed leaf  32. Juneberry - trunk often in clusters, tight grey bark with “stretch marks,” simple toothed leaves  33. Willow - long, narrow leaves on long, drooping branches, usually found near water  34. Slippery Elm - oblique leaf that feels rough like sand paper  35. American Elm - oblique leaf that feels smooth and shiny  36. Witch Hazel - oblique leaves, wavy margin, sometimes with “witches caps”  37. Shagbark Hickory - bark peels in strips - looks “shaggy,” leaves are pinnately compound  38. Staghorn Sumac - long pinnately compound leaves, many leaflets, clusters of fuzzy red berries, milky petiole sap  39. Honey Locust - Leaves are pinnately and twice compound, tiny leaflets, sometimes with thorns.
