    Wildfire at Tea Time Hill

    I comfirmed. Clear sailing from Hawkins Bridge all the way to 206 this morning. Fire most notable along the gravel section of Carranza right up to the road. Tops of many pines were brown.

    This tree on Davenport Road

    After a little pondering, I'm going with a type of apple tree. The blossom has 5 sepals.

    This tree on Davenport Road

    Not sure on this one. It might be a type of fruit tree. What size is the tree? What does the tip of the fruit looks like? You might want to revisit the tree later on.

    Yes, I agree. It is a hybrid. Did you open the link for 'red mulberry vs white mulberry". I think it is good site. Well. keep looking.

    So, you feel it is a Morus rubra (Red) Based on the straight ridges of the tree trunk and the leaf.. Did you see any leaves with side lobes, but that's not required. Is the size of the leaf 4 to 7 inches, with fine hairs on the under side. Our photo shows the trunk as straight curvy deep...

    Bob. I'm not sure enough to make a guess. Do you have a photo of an individual leaf?

    This oak

    Base on the shape of the acorn where the top curves in to made it bowl-like, the scaly cup, and the cup doesn't attach directly ro the branch, it's a scarlet oak.

    This oak

    Well, it could be a scarlet oak. For me, the acorn is the identifier. Are you only going by the leaf? Do you have a photo of the bark on the trunk?

    This oak

    The top two could be either Northern Red Oak or Black Oak. Base on the number of lobes, I'll go Black. For me, the real identifier is the acorn. Northern Red Oak is large and Black is small. Even if some caps are on the ground that would help. BTW, the Northern Red Oak is the NJ State tree. I...

    This oak

    A would say it is a vintage piece of farm equipment, but one in good condition or refurbished can still be used.

    This oak

    My guess would be an old Spring Tooth Harrow. (Check Google Images)

    I believe the white flower in Bob's post is called Lizard's-tail (Saururus cernuus), common to seasonally flooded woodlands.

    Here's a photo of the leaf and acorn of a bur oak. I only seen two bur oak trees and both were on the large size. They prefer bottomland soils, but that was not the case of the two I saw.

    "Not What You Think" Oak

    At the time, the professor said the same things. I don't think it's worth the trouble. They were incorrect for the past 80 years. The people incharge probably never even saw the memorial plaques. What's more important is to remember the person whose name is on the plaque. There's even one...

    Haa. I was going to get back with you this morning on this. tree. I agree with you that it is American Hornbeam. That was my guess. I take it that most of your exploring in Cape May is in the bottomlands. So the trees you show would be in that enviroment. If so, you may find a bur oak.
