This one will be a little different as I did some research and found out what it is for sure by wetting up the leaf clumps still on the tree, It became apparent then what it was. Going to make it a little tuff on you as one guess per post and don't be generic, like saying Pine. I couldn't get this one by bark, look and cut section, see how you do. I'll give a yes or no to guesses every once in a while till someone gets it or if a few days pass I'll give it up. Good guessing.

Hurricane Ike blew the top out of it so the leaves are still attached since it was alive at the time.
