Quiz: Can You Identify These Trees ?
Here are a number of photos of tree features, all belonging to trees that can be found in New England, as well as much of the eastern U.S. How many can you identify? Some may be fairly easy, others could be pretty difficult for some people, and could easily be confused with other species. Most are native species; some are not, but are commonly seen in the region.

New England's Fallen Champion Hemlock
Why? That's a question I asked myself too. People who cherish the grandest, oldest trees in the forests are just willing to put up with discomfort to be among those hulking giants. In this case, the old tree is lying in repose on the ground, having smashed down unceremoniously a couple months ago.
