I think this is a hybrid with A. dealbata, not a pure A. baileyana, though wait to see what others think

If the first pinnae face backward (stem clasping) I call it A. baileyana, otherwise it is a hybrid. Am I right?

Yes that's usually a good one though I think it can be variable. In this one the whole leaves including number of pinnae/pinnules seem larger than that for A. baileyana as well as the shape/form and bark of the plant look a lot more like A. dealbata to me as wel.

All others that I could find in the area were dealbata. I’m on a quest to find baileyana. I’ll wait for confirmation that this is the hybrid although I know it may be difficult to determine. At least we are confident that it’s got some baileyana in it.

Yes, I know baileyana is noxious which is why I’m trying to find it. Preferably big ones that need to be removed by a ranger. I had a baileyana confirmed a while back so I’ll revisit it.
