Anon 10:08 am has come very close (requiring just an adjective to get the job done). He knows that the mystery plant is a tree, and that's half the battle.

Kudos to Anon 12345, who supplied the correct answer at 10:49 EDT. Anybody else figure it out yet?

Yellowstone Ed and Anon out west have both nailed it. Anon 11:11 is in the ballpark.
