Tree I.D. help please

[buzz sawyer]

Here's a side by side comparison. Have you tried this yet Sylvia?

 

[ropensaddle]

Looks similar to Acer davidii snake bark maple!

Buzz, how on earth to you do these things??? I'm still trying to work out your original instructions with the superimposed photo (without success at this point I must say). (I am so computer challenged.)

Yes, thank you, both of you. The up close and side by side comparison helped alot. I can see where these are the identified Ostrya virginiana.

Back to the OPs tree...his bark looks like the O. virginiana but his leaf does not. I'm still hoping for a drive by from a friend. But unless we can get a twig off the tree, we may have to wait until spring leaves appear.

Happy New Year's Everyone!!

swamp ash is my best guess

Swamp Ash= Wettius Butticus

 

[ropensaddle]

Swamp Ash= Wettius Butticus

Not supposed to capitalize specific epithet, so if your going to call it that, it would be Wettius butticus jfyi!

I think I finally have it - Hawelm Ashbeam (Donowa chacolidis).

Sylvia - I was finally able to open the site you posted very early on. That's the closest I've seen to the leaf.

We have to keep this thread going at least till Spring.

We're sure giving it our all!

I'm trying to get a friend who lives in that general area (New Hampshire) to give it a run by...

I think your doctor can give you a shot for that.

Funny, I had a shot just before I thought of the name.
