>Trees in Turkey

 

15+ horticulturefag, pic related. For the record, the airport photo could very easily have been taken in Turkey:

 

Trees in the airport photo - There are at least 2 different types of trees landscape trees in the photo. They are the highly cultivated nursery-stock type commonly used for commercial landscape installations, such as airports; and, as you can see on the far right, there is a well-scaled grouping of highly cultivated ornamental shrubs which would never occur in any wild, un-planted area.

 

Tall, slender tree on the left, is most likely a Cypress tree (dark green), which grows in many countries worldwide, and is highly cultivated for nursery stock. Consider Cupressus sempervirens Stricta, and:

 

"The most famous Muslim cemetery in Turkey where C. sempervirens is used widely is Istanbul Karacaahmet Cemetery. In Istanbul Turkish the tree is referred to as "Mezarlık Selvisi" (Cemetery Tree); its common name in Turkish and the name used in Turkish forestry is "Kara Selvi" (Black Cypress)."

 

The larger, branched trees are most likely also Cedar trees, or possibly Cypress, both which also grow in many areas worlwide and are likewise highly cultivated for the industry. Consider the Cedar of Lebanon, and the highly cultivated Cedrus deodara:

 

"The cedar of Lebanon can be distinguished from the closely related deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara) by its slightly smaller needles and cones" .. "As its name suggests, the cedar of Lebanon is native to Lebanon, where it occurs in fragmented populations in mountainous areas. It is also found in the mountains of Syria and Turkey" .. "Also known as Lebanese cedar, Lebanon cedar, Mediterranean cedar, Taurus cedar, Turkish cedar."

 

Cypress, Cedar and Pine all three grow, and are widely used in landscaping, in Turkey as well as many other places spanning the globe.

There is simply no logical reason to assert the airport photo is Not Turkey because of the trees.

Could be Cypress in Sedona, but appear to be the natural variety at least from this pic, rather than any kind of cultivar used for landscaping. The types shown in Turkey do not particularly flourish in very excessively dry climates, such as on top of mesas. Need closeup to be sure but judging by the various pics, it's a natural area of non-cultivated types, rather than the less tolerant types shown in the Turkey airport photo.
