    I enjoyed your leaf identification. I took dendrology in college for biology credits. I enjoyed the course, after leafs fall we had to identify by bark and terminal buds.
    I made an A in dendrology, back in the seventies. So yes I am old as dirt.
    I got 100% correct on your test.
    I have been a faithful follower for years. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Kevin: Thanks for a handy tree identification. It may not mean I'm a woodsman but it's nice to know whom I'm talking to. By the way I always ID beech trees by the bear claw marks on the bark. Stay Safe & thanks Brian 80
