When do I limb up dicidious(sic) trees of this type....Familiar with coniferious trees....
Out west we don't have many trees and I don't want to kill the ones I have.... CALL ME A TREE HUGGER IF YOU WANT..... I like the shade.... http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/exwildlandfire/2009_0114tree0001.jpg http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/exwildlandfire/2009_0114tree0002.jpg http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/exwildlandfire/2009_0114tree0003.jpg Any info would be appreciated.... |

Looks like an aspen. Don't top it, thin it out instead. Not an aspen..we do have those here...some kind of hardwood, maybe elm or poplar... Like I said don't know much about hardwoods... Aspen is a hardwood, member of the poplar family. It is my job to know trees, pretty sure that is an aspen. |

you're right. You beat the forester.

you're right. You beat the forester. lol. I have a couple of them in my yard. They are great trees and they grow fast if you soak them. Beautiful in the summer and fall. They need to be groomed though on their lower extremities. They tend to grow "beards" of shoots off their trunks. They can also be kinda messy. |

I only know 99% of them.

you're right. You beat the forester. Cottonwoods must not grow on the East Coast. They are a mountain-river species. Bet you haven't seen a Pinon Pine in VA either 
Now can you name the tree in the background? Smooth, red bark. |

The Cottonwood is a poplar, just like the Aspen. Sometimes you cannot tell the difference. |

Can you name the other tree in this photo? It is hard to tell from the photo, but I can barely make out some of the leaves. The lobes look like some variety of red oak. It is a rare tree. Texas Madrone. http://www.biosci.utexas.edu/prc/DigFlora/ARXA/madrone.html |

Looks like an aspen. Don't top it, thin it out instead. FAIL!! Cottonwood. Can be properly pruned best during the winter (dormant season). Don't cut limbs off flush with the stem; cut just outside the branch collar.How to Prune a Tree |
