Middle stem leaf blades lanceolate to narrow-oblong, usually cuneate at the base, 2–5 times as long as wide

This color morph reminds me a lot of Galearis spectibilis :)

Tinged with pink

Unsure about this one, strange coloration… is it just done flowering?

Little Otter Creek Wildlife Management Area (Ferrisburgh)

Blue morph….Gorgeous

Cinnamon under tail denotes Bohemian vs White for Cedar

This bird has a short beak.

Huge Butternut on Lake St in St. Albans. Got invited back in the fall to gather nuts! Tons of shells on the ground, and has a resident squirrel :)

A real trooper…. Wow…. I had to stop when I noticed this behemoth Butternut.

Magnificent solitary roadside elm tree

Large Specimen. Looks healthy as of 10/2022.

Beautiful monster elm, I might have to come back and ask to take cuttings or look for progeny 😍 Doesn’t appear to have any crown dieback.

Quite a large specimen. Looks healthy as of 10/23.

This is the big tree on the edge of the parking lot, to the left of the overlook at the scenic vista.

Photos from when I found a road-burned chipmunk and picked it up from the middle of 116. It went to a wildlife rehab and was successfully released back where I had found it :) 🐿️

Quite large dbh for a healthy elm

Butternut canker present but a large healthy tree with more than 70% of its canopy still intact. Could be another potential candidate for nut collection.

The trunk appears canker free, need closer inspection. Potentially a good candidate for nut collection next summer!

3rd chestnut this year. Feeling pretty lucky.

Sprouting vigorously after fire of May 2021

not healthy, but not quite dead yet either

Another potential quercus x hawkinsiae ?
if the acorn caps are not flat enough for Q. rubra.

Amazing buttressed trunk, like an intertwined rope

Green Mountain National Forest

White or hybrid?

@charlie -- I found it!

Probably spread from planting
