#tbt to the spring when this Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) was just coming into leaf. It's crazy how time seems to fly so fast at times... . . . . . . . #treesofinstagram #treesofig #treesofmassachusetts #treesofthenortheast #treesofnewengland #norwaymaple #acer #platanoides #acerplatanoides #nonnativetrees #naturalizedtrees #throwback (at Peabody, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGJyzZBoYN/?igshid=15mgvf8j3ebeo

This photo came out a bit more chaotic than I'd prefer to post but! I realized that's exactly what looking up into a Ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba) looks like during early fall. Gingkos are unique in that typically, all the leaves on the tree begin to turn at the very same time. And the way they turn... it's as if the chlorophyll green slowly rolls back from the outer edge of each fan-shaped leaf, gently exposing the xanthophyll yellow. Usually, the colors of autumn foliage are present in leaves all season but the chlorophyll contained within the leaves hides the other pigments. Once the tree pulls back activity as cold weather approaches, the chlorophyll degrades and the hidden colors are revealed. . . . . . . . #treesofig #treesofmassachusetts #treesofthenortheast #treesofnewengland #ginkgo #biloba #ginkgobiloba #nonnativetrees #exotictrees (at Beverly, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGB8isPBodC/?igshid=mh1ebqv11mju

Sorry I haven't been as active on this account in recent months. Surgery back in the fall meant I didn't get out to photograph trees as much as I would have liked and then holiday season was crazy for me this year. Here's the best of 2017... . . . . . . . #bestnine2017 #trees #sylvan #treesofinstagram #treesofig #nativetrees #nonnativetrees #treesofnewengland #treesofnorthamerica #treesofnortheast #treesoftheworld #lilacsunday # arnoldarboretum #ferncroftpond #weepingtrees https://www.instagram.com/p/BdYiblDH7cz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ospkfp9nw4z

Aaaand now...the larch. (Monty Python moment). This Weeping European Larch (Larix decidua f. pendula) completes this momentary series on weeping forms. . . . . . . . #treelove #trees #standingones #standingpeople #treesofinstagram #treesofnewengland #newenglandtrees #deciduous #treesofthenortheast #treesofig #arnoldarboretum #emeraldnecklace #nonnativetrees #nonnative #boston #larix #larixdecidua #larixdeciduapendula #greencascade (at Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BUK0RrNB7iw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aevpln5qfipz

Cherry trees are a blooming this week in northeastern Massachusetts. These lush beauties belong to the non-native and cultivated Kwanzan Cherry Tree (Prunus serrulata Lindl.) . . . . . . . #treelove #trees #standingones #standingpeople #treesofinstagram #treesofnewengland #newenglandtrees #deciduous #treesofthenortheast #treesofig #prunus #prunusserrulata #prunusserrulatakwanzan #cherrytrees #nonnativetrees #nonnative #northshorecommunitycollege #nscc (at North Shore Community College) https://www.instagram.com/p/BUAoZjDhYjl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11bvguk8td43

Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) as a wee tree. I like to think the red tint is a hint at the cultivated red/purple leaved 'Crimson King' Norway Maples. . . . . . . . #treelove #trees #standingones #standingpeople #treesofinstagram #treesofnewengland #newenglandtrees #deciduous #treesofthenortheast #treesofig #invasives #invasivetrees #prohibitedplants #acer #acerplatanoides #norwaymaple #maple #nonnativetrees #mimistrees #massachusettstrees #massachusetts (at Massachusetts North Shore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BUAnqLUBpQ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4gwmi50bcuas

"Is that a tree on your kitchen table?" Why, yes. Yes, it is. I have a house tree. Doesn't everybody? Japanese Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii) that I grew from seed. It was about 2 years old here. . . . . . . . . #treesofinstagram #trees #treesofnewengland #treesofnortheast #nonnativetrees #treesofJapan #pinus #pinusthunbergii #bonsaibutnotreally (at North Shore (Massachusetts)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BLOftphD7vG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g7c6rz1nz5sw
