Not even going to try competing in this comp. To be honest I didn't even know there were as many as 10 different varieties of tree bark.

Nice comp, tough too, you're really making 'em work for it Steve. Good luck contestants!

Ohhh we have a 3 way tie...

Dunx, Mouse and Roy you all correctly identified 8 trees.

Give you a bit of help here (or confuddle you), one of the remaining trees hasn't been listed at all in any of the entries, either correctly or incorrectly placed. The other remaining tree has been been guessed but not correctly placed and for this one I do need the exact species

Well done you three, i was going to play at the start, but i would have got several wrong! Not as clever as i thought i was.

Anyway it would be rude and unfair to slide in now, pretending i was an expert, so i will wait with bated breath, for the outcome.

Great comp Mesquite.

Ivan...

 

[Mesquite]

Mouse, Roy, still 8

And guys I need the English name or the full Latin name, not just the genus

Anyway it would be rude and unfair to slide in now, pretending i was an expert, so i will wait with bated breath, for the outcome.

So am I Ivan... especially as no one has guessed one of the trees yet

 

[Mouse040]

Jump in Ivan it's doing my head in please someone win
