Tree ID help
« on: May 18, 2017, 09:04:19 am »
Looking for some help identifying this tree. I'm thinking some kind of dogwood but what do you think? Below are pics of the leaves and bark

It's definitely not dogwood. The veins run parallel at leaf margins on dogwood, and the bark is blocky on dogwood. Sorry, not much help

Not a dogwood!  Where do you live. That will help with ID.

Has a bit of a hickory look to it. But, could be anything.

Leaves not arranged like hickory. Hickory leaves are compound, with leaflets opposite except at the end of the twig and each leaflet is usually larger than its neighbor that is nearer the trunk. Terminal leaflet the largest. Also, Hickory leaves are flat and not at all scalloped on the edges.

Almost looks like a native magnolia. Has it bloomed this year yet?

Pennsylvania and I'm totally stumped. I thought hickory to but I don't think that is it. I've looked online for about an hour and just can't seem to find it. There's a whole grove of this with some nice straight trunks.

With the leaves at the end of the branch it should be easier to ID but I don't have my ID books with me.
 Buckeyes have compound leaves also, palmately compound.

Leaf looks similar to southern magnolia, but the bark is smooth!

This is obviously a deciduous tree. Southern magnolias are evergreen...at least they develop new leaves before they drop their old ones. The Frazier Magnolia, big leaf magnolia and cucumber magnolia all are deciduous, some have smooth bark, others furrowed bark.
