Nope, keep chewing

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll have to guess Nyssa sylvatica in that case, even though there are some oak-ish leaves hanging in there...

 

[robinia]

Sassafras?

That was a snap for you lego-man! Your up

 

[tomthetreeman]

I figured 'keep chewing' meant another form of 'gum' tree.

A snap. Ouch.

OK, how about this:

 

[robinia]

Alright, here's one for real. Never mind the world's ugliest building in the background...

 

[tomthetreeman]

Weird callery pear?

 

[JeffL]

Hugemongous dogwood?

 

[robinia]

Not either of those.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Possibly a deformed Tilia of some sort. Maybe euchlora?

 

[robinia]

No Tilia

 

[tomthetreeman]

Cotinus?

 

[JeffL]

Norway maple?

 

[robinia]

No Acer, No Cotinus.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Ostrya virginiana var. 'Bam!'

 

[robinia]

No Ostrya.

Here is a bigger version. I can post the bark as well which is what I find so interesting about this specimen - looks fairly strange, atypical. Always wanted a DNA test!

Ginkgo biloba?
