It's interesting to me that the cherry tree is more leafed out than blooming. I guess all the rain and warmer temps over the winter has something to do with it? #dendrology #spring2025 #trees #color #swva #springinvirginina

Trying out some ink rubbings today!

The last image is a BTS shot of the log I rolled ink on for a pressing.

Kan någon upplysa mig om hur detta genom uppstår?
Med min begränsade kunskap gissar jag att det är en granstubbe (Gran -grop, den gamla skolramsan).

Är det grenar som vuxit från stammens kärna och inte ruttnat bort lika fort som själva stammen?

Always excited to see the native pawpaw blooming. Asimina triloba has a beautiful flower pollinated by flies. It smells yeasty. Paw paw trees are typically understory trees in mesic and riparian habitats. They like to be near rivers or streams. The fruit that results from the flowers matures in middle to late September. The fruits smell very yeasty, but have the taste close to banana and pineapple. #Botany #SpringFlowers #Photography #Nature #Flowers #Trees #Dendrology #Pawpaw #AsiminaTriloba

Corsicaanse den (Pinus nigra subsp. laricio, synoniem Pinus nigra var. corsicana)

De Corsicaanse den komt oorspronkelijk onder andere uit Corsica. Daarnaast komt hij van nature voor in Zuid-Italië en Sicilië.

Het woord den komt in veel Germaanse talen voor, in diverse vormen, en voert wellicht terug op een Protogermaans woord voor ‘woud’ of ‘wildernis’.

Pinus is het Latijnse woord voor ‘den’ en heeft mogelijk wortels in het Indo-Europese pīt, dat ‘hars’ betekent.

Nigra betekent 'zwart', en het is vooral de schors van andere ondersoorten van P. nigra die zo donker gekleurd is dat die aanleiding gaf voor deze soortnaam.

De herkomst van laricio is mij niet bekend.

De Corsicaanse den is een populaire boom die in tuinen en parken werd aangeplant.

Ook een niet onaanzienlijk deel van onze bossen bestaan uit deze dennen, bedoeld voor de productie van timmerhout.
