Upper Peninsula Tree Identification is a wonderful hobby for tree enthusiast and novice alike. There are 15 counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There seems to be a uniformity of tree types except for some differences. Each county varies in the abundance of tree species. Delta County has 602,200 acres of forest. Data for Delta county tree species is as follows:

Cedar
Balsam Fir
Quaking Aspen
Red Maple
Black Ash
Sugar Maple
Black Spruce
Balm of Gilead
White Spruce
Paper Birch
Red Pine
Hemlock
Jack Pine
Bigtooth Aspen
Tamarack
Beech

Yellow Birch
Basswood
Black Cherry
Red Oak
Ironwood
Mountain Maple
White Ash
American Elm
Green Ash
Choke Cherry
Pin Cherry
Mountain Ash
Muscle Wood
Slippery Elm
Boxelder
Butternut

It is hoped that in the future, pictures will be provided on this site for trees found in Escanaba, Michigan. It would be wonderful if a tree identification contest could be set up to identify trees in the area. If you are interested in setting up a contest, please contact us. There is one that is held every year in Indiana at the Fitness Farm.

The following are websites that can be searched for further tree information.
