Will, Thanks for the tips. One of my many weaknesses, in light of being in a tree group, is that I am not very strong in identifying similar looking species. A few I know well, the others I am working with field guides that are often not very helpful and trying to learn different characteristics. There are things that more experienced tree people see without thinking about very much that are easy keys to distinguishing some of these different types. The guidebooks simply dump everything into the description and it is often difficult to see what is important and what is not.
