For you Woos Pro's, Name this wood!

- I thought Wild cherry, but the Wood is White , I thought locust, but the leaves aren't right, Buddy said Yellow Birch, But the Bark doesn't just peel off like paper, about 75 ft tall, 30 inches across-

A pic of the leaves up close and clear would help greatly.

Hackberry.

But like lone wolf said, we need more info. Location, pics of leaves, etc.

The bark doesn't "peel off" of yellow birch like it does off of white birch, & the wood somewhat resembles maple. A pic of the leaves should help answer your question. Just noticed the leaves, & I still don't know. Hackberry is related to elm whose leaves are uneven at the base. Maybe a hybrid? We have some trees around here which have leaves like black cherry & bark like a sycamore??!

I added leaf pics but will try again, best i can do

hard to say, leaves are like a Wild black cherry, but the bark and color of the wood isn't, bark kind of like locust but leaves don't add up-

anyone else want to throw their hat in ?? Tree is in S WI

 

[lone wolf]

This?

one more , Bark is pretty solid, it looks like it will peel off but its hard to break off,

Dang Wolfie!! I think you Got it- Must be a odd ball tree- It does have little black berrys

 

[lone wolf]

What State?

I aint convinced the leaves on the video look serrated but the one in question isnt is it? Maybe lets see the general consensus.

 

[SCHallenger]

Without going to my tree book, I agree with Lone Wolf that it is most likely Hackberry. The serrated leaves with uneven lobes at their base suggests an elm like tree to which the Hackberry is related.

Old CB said it first.

Old CB said it first.

Yep, he did. I've watched the video & resorted to my tree book this AM. The leaf form definitely suggests Hackberry. In Michigan it only grows in the southern 1/2 of the lower peninsula. I believe the OP indicated that he was in southern Wisconsin, so his tree is probably one of the most northerly specimens there.

 

[old CB]

It's hackberry.

 

[REJ2]

It's hackberry.

Yes. To the tenth power!
