Help identifying tree

[viking59]

Can anyone steer me in the right direction identifying this.

Might be a hackberry.

Not sure. The bark looks smoother than a hackberry.

Leaf looks hackberry but bark is very smooth to our hackberry around here. I'm not sure I've seen one in a woods setting mostly just yard trees not sure if they react different do to less sun contacting the bark or not...

Ok. I'll take that. Thanks a lot guys. I have a huge one on the ground after hurricane Matthew. I'll cut it up, dry and burn it.

I've never seen such a smooth barked hackberry or sugarberry but the leaf is actually leading me to believe its a sugarberry over a hackberry. hackberry has a serrated leaf margin where as sugarberry is smoother. it would also depend on the region in which you live.

Live in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina.

Then yes I would say sugarberry. Hackberry is mostly Virginia and north and sugarberry is mostly Virginia and south.

I think you you are right, Sugarberry. Haven't seen one in N.Indiana. Couldn't find smooth bark with a smooth leaf edge tree. Fact sheet shows the Sugarberry can have smooth or warty bark.

Same genus, some folks call them smooth hackberry.
Celtis laevigata (spelling?)

 

[bayard]

on the web page leafsnap. the bark of hackberry is very ruff and worty?

 

[TempusFugit]

I'm still a noob so I don't know how to quote a post but the picture Guji47 posted I think is Celtis sinensis which is not the common hackberry we have along the east coast. So I may ask a possibly stupid question and ask if you're sure the leaf you have pictured there belongs to that tree haha.

 

[Jason Douglas]

You know, your right...theres a tree sign and everything...must be an arboreteum.

Not likely this species is seen much outside of an arboreteum

Original post is not likely C. sinensis.

Damn near looks like blue beech(ironwood) very strange.... I also have never seen a smooth type hackberry....

 

[pbtree]

I would be tempted to jump on the hackberry wagon, but the bark is not quite right...

 

[duckman]

looks like a very very old Korean Evoda. also called a bee bee tree
