Tree species we photographed on our holiday in the United States (USA) in october 2004

We first visited a friend in Washington DC, near the White house. Then we visited Utah and Arizona. We had a wonderfull holiday, and also saw a lot of tree species.

Some highlights are:

Sycamore (platanus_occidentalis). This is one of the Ancestors of our European Planetree (Plataan).

The Tanoak (lithocarpus_densifloru) is a species that stands in between the Oaks (eiken), it has acorns, and the Chestnuts (Tamme kastanje), it has leafs life a chestnut.

Quaking aspen (populus_tremuloides) on the road to Torrey. The authum leaves were really breathtaking.

Pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) on the South rim of the Grand Canion. All over the place people were collecting the nuts to eat or sell them I suppose.

Ginko (Ginko biloba). In the garden behind the whitehouse this giant stands.
