Pinus stronus IDed by the tag on the tree. Also the five needle fascicles.
Eastern White Pine
London Plane Trees
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.
Japanese Cherry
Prunus serrulata IDed as a cherry by the cherry-esque shiny bark with lenticels, and as a Japanese cherry by the pink flowers and gray bark. My best guess at the variety would be kawazu sakura, since the flowers were in full bloom early April, but Japanese cherry varieties are always a little sketchy and I’m very bad at IDing them.
Kousa Dogwood
Cornus cornaceae IDed by multiple trunks with mottled brown-tan camouflage-like bark; hard, dried-out, round drupe with honeycomb like segments on the surface; openkng buds that resemble the paintbrush-like buds that kousas have in the winter, just, like, opened.
Weeping Willow
Salix Babylonica IDed by small catkins sticking out at regular intervals along the branch and weeping willows’ distinct hanging branches.
Red Maple Flowers 2

Young Red Maple
Acer rubrum IDed as a maple by the opposite branching and buds, and as a red maple by the flowers and samaras. The pictures below are two separate visits a few weeks apart
River Birch
