* A couple of friends have let me know that the unidentified tree is a Tung tree--as in Tung Oil. The downside is that apparently it has large nuts or bolls that come with it and they are so hard they will tear up a lawn mower or put dents in a car parked under it. Ah, beauty seems to come at a price.

Well, it turns out this gorgeous tree is a tung oil tree. Fortunately I have a friend who is a Master Gardener and she has resources.
