Some trees are really obvious and easy to ID but, to make ID easier, my habit is to include photos of:
a very closeup of leaves,
on big trees when I can not get close to leaves, I might use a telephoto to get the best view possible.
In pines, looking for number of needles per fascicle and needle length; in the cypress family, juniper in
particular, looking for scale leaf overlap, tip shape and leaf gland visible or not.
close up of seed cones (in pines, what looks like miniature cones are likely pollen cones; in junipers, tear
open a fleshy seed cone to check seed(s) size and shape.
Notice if both pollen and seed cones (monoecious) or only one or the other (dioecios)

Exactly ^^^^^
Thanks, Chauncey!
Chauncey thank you for this link that you sent earlier today. Any idea why iNaturalist won’t let me delete nonsense names, like when Seek or someone else calls something a plant for instance, ie a name so broad it doesn’t teach me anything
Very informative, thank you!
Thank you!!
