Hedge Maple



Grand Army Plaza entrance, Prospect Park

Scotch Elm




Leaves and keys and a detail of the massive, nobby base of the bole. This is right next to the first baseball diamond heading south past the Pools.

Windfall linden





This big linden on the SE end of the ballfields, Long Meadow, toppled in yesterday's storm.

Heartwood

Boxelder



Acer negundo, the boxelder, on the western edge of Lookout Hill across from the Quaker Cemetery. Compound leaves, unlike other maples

Nethermead whatsit?





There are two of these in the SE corner of the Nethermead. Check out the teeth. Is it some kind of chinkapin?

Prospect buckeye




This buckeye (Ohio, I think) hangs over the head of the path from the Rose Gardens into the Vale.
