Once the weather warms up, take a ride through Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA. Located not far from Revere, and you will see a very large variety of trees. All trees have identification tags.
You will not regret the ride particularly when the flowers begin to bloom. |

If you go to www.greenleaftreenh.com and click on 'Trees in NH', there's some very good photos of about ten different trees from New Hampshire.

There is a brand new free app called About My Woods. It appears to be specific to New England. There are great map overlays, as well as pages of features you will find such as trees, mushrooms, invasive species.

There is an IOS (iPhone) app called "Leafsnap" that is great. You basically take a picture of a leaf on a whit background and it tells you what the tree is. A couple of years ago it identified an unknown tree in the front yard as a "hop hornbeam". I had never heard of them and it is the only one in the yard.

Well, Here's Two "Big Ones"...
Quote:
White Pine was the predominant New Hampshire species before it was heavily cut down for ship- and house-building, beginning with the earliest North American settlers. Carpentry using White Pine lumber easily shows its superior characteristics. Pull a lower branch down, and a white pine can be identified by its five leaflets. (Five—for the five letters in "w-h-i-t-e"). The scarcer Red Pine has three leaflets for "r-e-d". Then there's another "Big One", the Sugar Maple, which is very easy to identify and remember: Some examples of "Big Ones" can be seen on the steepest slopes of Rattlesnake Island. The lower slopes were easiest for tree cutters of the last Century to reach, and has since evolved into hardwoods—(trees that drop their leaves in Autumn). A Broads-side view of Rattlesnake Island shows the heights White Pines can achieve—which is 90-feet or greater. Nearby Diamond Island has a large crop of the dwindling Red Pine—another "money crop". An Autumn aerial photo will show how barren of White Pines it remains after their hardwood replacements have turned their leaves to brown. Here it can be seen where the green white pines still remain:

Catkin Flowers of Black Birch...
Another "big one" could be the Black Birch. If scratched, the Black Birch's bark has the odor of carbonated "birch beer".
As one can tell by looking closely at their bark, they're related to the other common birch-tree names of New Hampshire—paper, white, canoe, bronze, golden, silver, and yellow. Right now, they're dropping their "spikes" of flowers, called "catkins" Also occurring right now is the release of the fine, green, White Pine pollen, which was carried far and wide by the strong and gusty winds this past Friday. .
