My brother sent me these pics, wondering what kind of tree this is. I've personally never seen one like this, but since it came from a fence row, I'm sure it's common. Thanks guys

Bark looks a lot like an Elm. The end looks like it could be Hackberry. Maybe one of those two????

 

[shorty2000us]

I've cut Hackberry before. Wood is all white with more of a green bark, with defined ridges. This is what I call Hackberry anyway

bark looks like elm. it ain't red elm or american elm. possibly siberian elm?? its not hackberry, hackberry has a white end grain with very distinct warty bark.

Box elder?

 

[shorty2000us]

Box elder has a small, light pink center. I google'd American & siberian elm, just don't look the same. From pics I saw, the dark heartwood in elm is "the majority" so to say. With only like 2" of white wood around the perimeter. Idk, this one's got me stumped

The bark looks like Ailanthus.

Looks like black walnut to me.

The center does but the bark is throwing me.

 

[Cseal]

Just looks like a young tree to me. Probably sub 12" diameter

Maybe yup.

I'm with Cseal, black walnut, a young one from the amount of sap vs heart wood. Bark is smoother on the smaller ones too.

I'm on board with Walnut yup

That's what my brother thought, black walnut. I said no cuz I cut down a 3 footer last year, and IIRC, the heartwood & sapwood was all very dark. I didn't even think about it not being a mature tree. Thanks guys!!

Smell it and that will tell you for sure on the walnut question.
