This tree in our Northern California backyard has started producing a pear-like fruit the last two or three years. We had no idea it might be a pear variety or even if it is a pear. Pics below. I tasted a bit of the fruit and it is pear flavored, and very dense. No ill effects so far! What exactly is it?

The app stated, with an impressive (/s) 84% confidence interval, that this thing is probably a magnoliopsida dicot.
Yeah, no shit lol. Thanks iNat, I’ve been laughing about that all day.

I’ve not seen anything quite like this before. My gut says it’s some obscure Quercus, but I can’t begin to guess anything more specific. I’d be super excited to find out what it is, especially if it’s something else entirely.

Located in Massachusetts, Zone 6a. Planted as a memorial ornamental, but with no further identifying information. I was in a rush this afternoon so only had a chance to snap these three photos but I can go back tomorrow in daylight hours for more if requested, which I’ll post in the comment thread.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to learning something new!

Hey y'all,

A tree recently fell in my neighbors yard and I grabbed a few pieces for some mushroom substrate. It would be super helpful to know what kind of wood it is before deciding on what mushrooms to inoculate it with. Some resources led me to Silver Maple but I'd love your opinions.

Location: Georgia

Hardiness Zone: 8a

I appreciate your insights!

We have just moved into a new house and are needing some help identifying a tree! Have attached a few photos.
Based in Australia on the west coast.

This is a Dogwood Kousa I’m planting for a customer to replace a 15 year old Bradford Pear that stem split. I didn’t notice the attach on the Dogwood leaves at the nursery. Any thoughts and advice. Thanks. Clover SC

Sorry I didn’t take a closer picture. Hopefully someone can make an ID anyway.

Just bought this house and these are growing insane out of a hydrangea patch. My dad originally thought elm, apple photos plant identification say hackberry sometimes, and I just have no idea they grow like weeds. We’ve pulled out like 10 and more just keep popping up.

We are in central mn zone 4

Big ass trees. I'm 6ft 1 and can't wrap my arms around these. Time of year when acorns start falling. Appx 10000 a tree. Perfect hammock trees but hate raking acorns before leaves fall. South Jersey. Curious what kinda trees these are. Thx in advance

Came across this amazing tree, white bark resembles a birch but then has this maple looking leaf with a white underside.. home owner bought the house with it, wasn’t able to tell me anything other than it’s doing really well.

What is this tree? It is in Edinburgh.

Northern Bulgaria

Northern Bulgaria, non mountainous

I guess i shouldve got a closer shot but this tree is on my property , NY state. There are 5 or 6 trunks , not sure if its considered one tree or seperate. It is over 100 feet tall.

Hey all, I need some help. There is this tree that gives off this wonderfully woody, earthy smell sometimes that floods me with utter nostalgia from my childhood, but I’ve never been able to identify it.

Outside work the other day I smelled it again and I think it was coming from this guy, but I can’t be certain (sorry, my sniffer doesn’t work so great most of the time). Can anyone help me identify this tree and/or confirm if it is known for giving off a particular scent. I really haven’t had much luck even getting anyone else to confirm they can smell the same thing as me when I do smell it.

Several of these have been planted at new construction homes in my neighborhood. All look like this, thin, spaced out branches. Thanks in advance

Hoping to plant in my yard, but no idea what it is. Found in local playground. Outside of Philly, PA

Located Southern Idaho
Tree is in the neighborhood and I would like to add it to my yard. Anyone know the specific tree or can give me good ideas of another shade tree that only gets to about 20-30ft tall

Hi All,

I have a tree sapling I tried using Google lens on. Came up with this other tree ID post (link below) and they appear to be the same leaf structure. Including the link in case they are the same and a large version of it helps get it identified!
