New Good site for tree information at Virginia Tech.
[link|http://www.fw.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/factsheets.cfm|Dendrology at Virginia Tech]. It helped me to finally identify the [link|http://www.fw.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=75|Willow Oaks] that are fairly common around here. They're beautiful large trees when mature, but the leaves are a pain to rake because they're so narrow.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Maples here. 1 silver, 2 japanese, and many reds.
Actually too many red maples in the back yard.

One is about 15 feet from the house. One of these days I have to get it taken down. It's 60 feet tall and I'm sure there are roots up against the foundation.
