Question

Dr. Laura Deeter likes two large trees on the South Oval.

What is the common name of the tree?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To identify the common name of the tree, let's evaluate each option in light of the visual cues in the image.
Option 1: Red Oak. While red oaks are common, they typically have darker, rough bark and lobed leaves. The trunk in the photo shows a lighter, mottled, peeling bark pattern rather than the uniform rugged bark of many oaks, and the canopy resembles a broad-leaved deciduous tree rather than the lobed-leaf appearance of a typical red oak. This makes Red Oak less likely.
Option 2: Balsam fir. Balsam fir is a conifer with needle-like leaves and cones, not the broad, spreading canopy seen here. The image shows a broad-leaved, hardwood-type trunk rather than a conifer, so this choice is incorrect.
Option 3: Ash. Ash trees have compound leaves and a distinctive diamond-patterned bark when mature. The trunk in the photo does not display the typical tight, checkerboard bark commonly seen on mature ash, and the overall silhouette and bark coloration align more with a different hardwood species. This reduces the likelihood of Ash.
Option 4: American Sycamore. American sycamores are famous for their large size and the distinctive mottled, peeling bark that reveals pale inner layers, giving a pale, patchy appearance along the trunk. The tree in the image shows this kind of light, mottled, peeling bark and a large, broad silhouette typical of sycamores, which strongly supports this identification.
Overall, the combination of a very large trunk with pale, mottled, peeling bark and a broad canopy aligns best with American Sycamore, while the other options do not fit these characteristic features as well.
