FINALLY it let me upload the pics!

Here is one of the leaves.

That looks like a Tulip Poplar. I had one in my front yard in Indiana. A HUGE tree!

What about this one?


I love trees!

Are you getting any fruit on this tree? It looks like a Mulberry.

It is a really neat tree. When those big lumps came up at the beginning of a lot of the leave I kept my distance. lol The look like some little alien is going to bust out of them... or at least a bug that would bite! LOL I don't know what they are but I hope to find out. And ya know, something did eat a lot of the leaves off the tree in the middle of the summer...hmmm? It looked like a worm did it. The sound the tree makes in the wind is sorta like paper plates blowing in the wind and banging together would make. Those big ol' leaves twist and flip in the wind. It is right behind my coop or I might not have even noticed it. The chickens love to scratch around underneath it.

I did find a useful link: http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/tree-key/simple-leaf-trees.htm

You mentioned worms eating your leaves. Are you talking about the 'tent worms' (some people refer to them as bag worms)? Not suppose to hate, but I HATE those things.

No it didn't have any bag worms on it. I don't really know what kind of insect ate the leaves but it munched away at them. I don't like bag worms either, they will bite!

I didn't notice and fruit on that other tree.

Notice the lump at the beginning of the leaf toward the bottom.


Here is a bigger pic of one of those big lumps.


I have never bothered to learn all of our local trees. I think I'll do that! I want to learn the weeds too because I know a whole lot of them are very beneficial to us.

You got me thinking about my tree out back. So I did some checking. I found this site. It helped me find that I have a cottonwood try in my back yard. I've never know what it is. maybe it will help you! good luck!

I am looking forward to next spring. I can't wait to get another batch going. I have one of my 7.5 lb roasters in the oven now.

They are so cute!. They make me want to put eggs in the incubator, but I have enough to feed through the winter already!
