I do believe you are in a Black Cherry (P. serotina), not a Chokecherry (P. virginiana).

Chokecherry is generally a multi stemmed short tree or shrub, rarely more than 20 or 30 feet tall, whereas Black cherry is a tree, sometimes reaching sizeable dimensions.

there is no way in hell that is a choke cherry.

and that is the problem, too many people out there are using the common name choke cherry, for black cherry, prunus serotina.

you were definitely in a black cherry and that picture you posted was a black cherry.

I fully believe the Nebraska state champion chokecherry has be falsly ID'd. It is a prunus serotina.

I think the person submitting that tree, also incorrectly uses the name chokecherry for a blackcherry. They then looked up the latin name for chokecherry and submitted it. Since not too many black cherry trees out there, no one knew the difference, or something like that.

I wrote to the Nebraska Tree Champion board and asked them to check.

No way that is a chokecherry, no freakin' way.

btw adkpa, you imbed another huge picture like that again and screw up the thread and I won't play nice any more.

Id freak? I just throw stuff out without rhyme or reason, I really am not terribly familiar with stuff outside this zone. Although I id'd a 2' hackberry sapling the other day after having only really seen and climbed one big one, was pretty thrilled with that!

This new one magnolia acuminata? Can't really see the branch/twig structure so I'm goin on bark!

 

[JeffL]

Scratch magnolia, I think I got it. Someone else can get some guesses in though.

Will wait to hear how that went.

Sorry about the large pic it was a mistake. (to the rest of you, Xman we'll see)

Do to the attention my tree got I will do some investigation into the correct id.

 

[robinia]

This is a good one.

I would have said Quercus macrocarpa but the bark looks too smooth.

How about Ulmus rubra?

 

[MattyD]

Carya tomentosa?

 

[Dan_Watkins]

so far no has got it, ill post another pic soon if no ne gets it

 

[Dan_Watkins]

heres another one, my girly is making a guest appearance in the pic

 

[Adkpk]

Well she sure is a healthy looking specimen, bravo.

Castanea dentata

 

[robinia]

wow, awesome tree!!! The first photo really didn't give the scale.

It's got to be an oak, right? Not Q. bicolor?

How about a huge Q. shumardii?

 

[Dan_Watkins]

no to the oak family

its a rarity to see this type of tree that big.

more hints to come

 

[Dan_Watkins]

Castanea dentata

Im with ya. The bark somewhat reminds me of a Salix species now.....

What the hey.... Salix nigra?

 

[Dan_Watkins]

no basswood, no salix
