A bunch of random photos of Platanus × acerifolia taken over the winter of 2021-2022. IDed by off-white mottled bark. Very easy to identify from a distance.

Thuja occidentalis IDed by multiple trunks (a relatively common feature); brownish-gray bark (young trees are more reddish-brown but this tree seems relatively old); scaly cypress-like leaves (Northern White Cedars are false-cedars); and small flower-like cones whose scales each have a small pointed tip. This website is helpful to ID this species.
