Title: Help with wood ID
Post by: Blacktail on August 30, 2009, 07:14:33 pm

I was hunting today and ran into this tree, but I dont know what type of tree it is. I would like to get relatively close to finding out what it might be. I only have one photo of the bark and some of the leaves. There were no flowers or seeds that I found.  So if you could do your best and help me out I would highly appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time, John.

Where are you located? Was this tree found in the wild or was it possibly a cultivated variety?

i all so want to add that it usually grows along farm lands...and that i have cut a small piece 4 yrs ago and it was a yellow color inside and it had wide growth rings...

looks like a type of wild cherry to me but the bark throws me off.

I don't think the bark is right for persimmon, maybe some variety of cherry but the bark doesn't match our wild cherry trees here locally.

well i might have it...i think its common chokecherry...the leaves are the same and the bark is all most the same...and i all ways see it growing along fences...and that would tell me that birds are eating in other trees and sitting on the fences and crapping all the seeds out.john
