Looks like a Birch to me

Bark looks like White Birch.

Magnolia stellata?

+1 for Magnolia

 

[bstewert]

Yes, bark looks like a white birch (we have several of those in our yard), but the leaves look like magnolia. Maybe it's a birchnolia confusia. I'll be pruning today. Owner wants crown reduced. That may be a challenge to make it still look good.

Many varieties of magnolia. 99% that's one

 

[ianwhite]

The buds are indicative of it being a magnolia. I'm sure that's what it is. they can do some really cool stuff. Seen a few that we work on where limbs graft to another limb. Real cool stuff. With that said, not sure of the variety of magnolia.

 

[bstewert]

Thanks all. I agree with magnolia, but don't know what variety. Pleasant fragrance and tangly branches. Spent several hours just cleaning up old stub cuts, removing suckers and crossing/rubbing branches. Not a great shape to start with, but owners are happy.

Sortof looks like a version of Magnolia x soulangeana

Thoughts?

Ain't a tree, it is a potted plant.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I believe thats the green speckled pecker.

Or the greenus weenus in latin.

 

[stig]

Greenus weenus is the proper way to put it.
I believe you are right.
