    Hi. Im new to southern Maine and trying to learn plants. Just took the course in winter trees and got the Trees of Canada and the US - but cant figure out what tree this is. Here are pictures of the buds and leaf scar. Hope you can help. Cheers Shaun

    Answer

    Dear Shaun, good morning. I've been looking at these images for several weeks waiting for the tree's identity to come to me. I must admit I don't recognize this tree from the branchlets you've photographed. Any chance you can get an image of the bark or leaves at the base of the tree? These might be clues that would allow me to help you identify the species. Best wishes.
