I'd say that was hackberry with those corky warts all over it.

I don't know where you are, but that doesn't look like the hackberry we have in Indiana.

I ran into that same problem when I was getting started. But once you get a go-to species that you can identify easily, things will pick right  up for you.

I'd say it is a hackberry of some kind, I've noticed some variation in the bark around where I live.  Could be a subspecies as well, maybe Georgia hackberry?

Our hackberry here is NE has some wart texture to the bark - but nothing like that.  I agree with outlaw - funny how it can vary.

Yep that be Hackberry.

Turtle, the Hackberry you are seeing is likely to be Northern Hackberry which has "regular" looking bark most times.

Netleaf Hackberry (aka Western Hackberry) and Sugerberry (aka Southern Hackberry) have the warts growing on them.
