Sourwood Maybe

The Leaf


A Sprig

The Bark

I have been meaning to use this free Leafsnap app that identifies trees (in North America?) by taking a photo of the leaf on a white background. Here's my leaf.  The closest I can come at this point is that it might be a sourwood tree. The bark sure looks like it. This tree started growing at the side of the house some years ago and I have always wondered what it might be. At any rate it is a fun app, I might try it some more over the summer on different trees!  Once you snap the photo it displays a list of possible trees in order, with your photo at the top of the list and the list with leaf samples next to each item.
