Trees from a distance

[theXman]

trunk looks like crab apple, but without any water sprouts.

the healed over areas on the trunk and branching down low seems like crab. So I've say crabapple.

but i doubt it, but nothing else comes to mind.

or, a far out one for some reason came to mind, serviceberry?

 

[tomthetreeman]

Not a Malus nor an Amelanchier. That would be a cool Amelanchier, though! Did you zoom on the attachment? I thought there were a couple giveaways once it was enlarged.

[tomthetreeman]

Last guess...

Blue Atlas cedar? I see the other one in the background, maybe this one is really chlorotic or something.

Edit - On second look, the one in the back is a lebanon, so scratch that whole guess. I'm backin' EZ with Ginkgo!
