Remember the acronym MADBuck when identifying trees during Winter.

"MADBuck" might sound like the name of an angry, snorting stag you might want to avoid while walking in the woods...as you should!...but it is also an acronym to help you recall how to identify trees during winter, when they're bare of leaves.

When you're walking on our preserves in winter, note the arrangement of twigs on a tree's branches. Most species have their twigs arranged in an ALTERNATE pattern, such as the shagbark hickory; however, some trees, such as species of maples, ashes, dogwoods and buckeyes, grow their twigs in an OPPOSITE arrangement.

Use the first letter from each of these groups to remember “MADBuck.”

Note: This rule also works for species of shrubs in those groups, except for the alternate-leaved dogwood, which is such an oddity that its alternate arrangement is even expressed in its scientific name: Cornus alternifolia.
