Tree People, Can You Help Me ?????


Please someone, tell me what kind of tree this is. It had little starry balls hanging from it and the branches look like the bark is pinched and twirlled around. Gee, I can't even discribe it very well.:):) I have never seen this tree with it's leaves. I never think about it in summer. It's at the Sisters of Saint Joseph Acadamy,in Tipton. Thank you, if you can help me.

  4. Nice to meet you. I see we both are friends with Buttercup!

    Yea, this is a sweet gum and they multiply like crazy and are always making a mess. My mom used to glue these little balls on a wreath and spray paint it gold for Christmas!!!
