I've seen hackberry with corky warts all over it but not shaggy bark.

Not like any hackberry tree we have here in Nebraska or in Kansas where I cut wood.

Are you thinking of cutting the neighbor's tree down?  :D

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Nope not a hackberry....looks like a big chinese elm (lacebark elm) Ulnus parvifolia.  But I may be wrong.
