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. |
Below are all tree species photographed.
Leafs are available on a seperate page.
Fruits are available on a seperate page.
