This is in Central NY / Southern Tier.
I should take pics of the trunk, I don't have any right at this moment, but I figure some of you might know the answer to this right away -
Several smaller, I'm pretty sure, American Hornbeam are on the property. DBH 4-6", smooth beech-like trunks. Here is the pic of the leaves from a few weeks ago
Tonight I was walking around, and by a seasonal stream there is a (maybe?) huge hornbeam that grew out of the side of the riverbed. Maybe 14+" DBH. All I did was take a branch
It had similar bark to the smaller ones, ba bit more beat up, but overall smooth. I didn't know American hornbeam could get this big.
Am I identifying this tree right? I'll take more pics of the tree tomorrow.
Thanks
