Mystery Trees
This is a constantly growing and shrinking list of trees that I haven't been able to identify. If you recognize a tree at an address below, send an email to sulliva1@ix.netcom.com and let me know. Many thanks to Jason Dewees, Arthur Lee Jacobson, Warren Roberts, Scot Medbury, Dick Turner, Linda Liebelt, Robert Barufaldi, Kori Dean and Dennis Westler for their help in identifying many trees that used to be on this list!
