Tree identification

Posted by treeleaf NZ South Island (My Page) on

Hi. This is my first post here. I'm keen to identify several NZ forest trees (not natives)from photos that I can provide. Is this the right place to ask? Or is there some other forum which might be be more specific for NZ trees?

Thank you :-)

RE: Tree identification

If you're wanting to ID plantation forestry species or amenity species (eg eucalypts or deciduous species) you might find it helpful to contact your local farm forestry people or Tree Crops Association, and go prepared with plant material/photographs and info on the location.

If the plants are on your property that will probably cause you few problems.

Another possible source for tree ID is to call a logging contractor. They can usually tell the difference between Douglas fir and spruce..;-D. It could be part of establishing your baseline property values - and arranging for pruning/thinning to get the best return on your timber crops.

If they're not indigneous species - and you're a confident photographer - try using the 'Name That Plant!' forum on the main listing. If you check it out first you'll quickly see the photographs that help the plant sleuths - and the ones that cause severe head-scratching...
