Stephen identifies trees at Grafton and in my yard

At Grafton Lakes State Park, Stephen pointed out the following trees to me:

  • Red maple
  • Eastern hemlock
  • Paper birch
  • Yellow birch
  • Beech
  • White pine
  • Red oak (pin)
Stephen told me that the trees behind my house are:
  • Norway maple - identifiable by diamond bark pattern.  Also, if you break the stem or leaf, it is milky inside.
  • Elm - identifiable by double teeth, and by uneven base of leaf.
  • Tree of heaven
  • Virginia creeper
  • Mulberry
  • Cottonwood
  • Silver maple (behind cottonwood)
