Tree ID - white trunk and

11 years ago

There's a few of these growing along the south side of Bell rd, between 55th ave and 57th ave. The trunks are all white and smooth, and it drops its leaves in the winter time.

I was thinking of Ghost gum tree at first but the leaves are totally different and as I said before that it loses all of its leaves in the winter unlike the ghost gum tree.

Could it be a Poplar Gum (eucalyptus platyphylla) - they look similar to the Ghost Gum, but are deciduous.

Show us a leaf, old, new, rotten, anything. There's bound to be something on the ground.

Good guess, asudevil. I don't know myself, but I like trees with white trunks (they reflect the scorching sun as protection.)

I think these are sycamore trees - either Platanus wrightii or Platanus racemosa

Yes, they DO look like sycamore trees don't they? I agree with Grubby, a leaf would help. Happy gardening!
