From what I've read I guess that's a good thing. I'll try now to make a proper identification...the black maple does look like a possibility. Mavia |

Mavia, I looked up these trees in my only "tree book", but they weren't in there - only what trees they considered good for landscaping. Jim gave a good description - the leaves look NOTHING like maple leaves. You might want to do a web search. I CAN tell you that their roots are toxic to many plants - so if you plan to garden around them, forget it. There are a few vegetables and plants that can take it, but most don't. I *think* walnuts are like the Kentucky coffee tree (which I planted once), in that that whole "stem" with the long, narrow leaves alternating on either side - those aren't "leaves". The whole stem, leafy looking things are ONE leaf. Can't remember the right term for it. Diane Hi Diane: my plant book call them "alternate leaves with odd-pinnate with 7 to 9 ovate to elliptic entire leaflets". Isn't that a mouthful to say...... Marie C. |
