And finally the trunk of this poor butchered tree. Sorry if my descriptions are a bit lacking but the nurseryman nee lumberjack was in a rush so I didn't have much time. I should know better to take some notes.
This trying to get ID"s stuff is exactly why all gardeners should learn a bit of botany. I fully credit Steve of Exotic Rain Forest for teaching me the importance the process to obtain a solid ID.
It's not rocket science to learn botanical terms, the tough part is remembering the terms if you don't use them, so I encourage everyone here that the next time you want to ID a plant take a few minutes to study the plant...pull up one of the many online glossaries and guides and try to add a bit science to your descriptions. Doing so will only make us all a bit more educated and after all if you're reading this you are already a plant geek in someones eyes so ya might as well live up to it.

Thanks for playing,
