[ATH]

Is it a pine?

 

[Serf Life]

Not a pine

 

[oldoakman]

Euc

 

[Serf Life]

No, but similarly unique bark...

 

[oldoakman]

Sycamore then

 

[colb]

Arbutus menziesii?

 

[Serf Life]

Arbutus menziesii?

You got it.

 

[colb]

Here's a layup. Crepe myrtle and sago will not get you a win. Isn't she a beaut?

 

[Basswood]

Quercus nigra?

 

[colb]

Quercus nigra?

No

 

[Serf Life]

Q. virginiana

 

[colb]

Q. virginiana

No.

 

[colb]

I'd say look at the bark first.

 

[oldoakman]

Well those would have been my first stabs at it.

 

[Serf Life]

How about hickory?

 

[colb]

How about hickory?

Not hickory.

Magnolia, but nothing really fits a mag.

 

[colb]

Magnolia, but nothing really fits a mag.

Not a magnolia...

Damn, good one!
I'm a bit out of my zone on that...
I'd have guessed southern magnolia
