That was a clue.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Someone already guessed Hophornbeam... So it must be Ptelea trifoliata.

I swear to God I was going to guess that earlier, but I got distracted.

[robinia]

Ha! I knew you couldn't stay away.

Hoptree. BAMMMM!

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll give my turn up for now to whomever has an interesting pic. No rules other than it needs to be a woody perennial.

[Adkpk]

Name the trunk.

 

[Adkpk]

Nice shot of a sugar maple.

 

[Adkpk]

How about birch? Can I do this on here? Took a hike Saturday to find some "hen of the woods" mushrooms. Seemed we were a little late. Thought you might enjoy some of the good shots I got.

 

[MattyD]

Cool shots indeed! thanks Adkpk. Looked like a nice hike. How about Carya ovata? the trunk shot!!!

 

[MattyD]

By the way. No you can't! didn't want to be rude

Awsome pics none the less. Cool Sugar Pic!!!

[tomthetreeman]

Carpinus?

 

[JeffL]

Nay!

I'm fairly certain this one will take some clues ;-)

 

[tomthetreeman]

How about Acer ginnala?

 

[JeffL]

I just planted 2 clumps of that yesterday, but that's not it either.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Halesia???

 

[JeffL]

Not halesia either. I usually fold too quickly and give a clue, but I'll let ya sweat this one out for a bit!

 

[Adkpk]

It's not shagbark although the woods around there are full of them, Catskills. I am thinking it's my black cherry. I took the pic to show at least how I identify black cherry. It has much rougher bark then choke.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Koelreuteria?

Maackia?

 

[JeffL]

We are staying native, remember? ;-)

Its very common, almost weedy if you will. This is not typical structure, makes it look like a halfway decent tree!

I know it's a bad pic, with little to no details to pick away at, so I won't make poeple struggle too much.
