  • Question

    This is a tree in NY. opposite, slightly hairy buds, new growth is green, three bundle scars. i thought it might be a maple, but they mostly have glabrous buds. seen in woodland area. Any ideas? thank you.

    Answer

    Dear dcmmings, good afternoon. You have photographed Acer negundo (ash-leaved maple). This species often shows the bloom (white material) on the branchlet surface, which you can see in some of your images. Thanks for providing a nice series of photographs to assist me in helping you.
