Steve,
There are tupelos on Mount Tom, but not where we were yesterday. Your observation suggests a collective ENTS project. We could submit images of a favored species, where identification has been positively made, but physical features make quick visual identification difficult, i.e. physical characteristics at the limits? What do you think? Others? We could then put the characteristics images into an ENTS species gallery?

The species must be more variable than I thought.

I've always enjoyed identifying the forest trees while I walked the land. Today was especially enjoyable because I encountered various species I'm not accustomed to seeing. Black oak was my new tree for the week.
