In Northern New Jersey.
Bark smooth and silver.
Long trunk - most leafs at the top of the tree. It's a big tree - trunk is alittle bigger than a 5 gal bucket and maybe 70 feet long (tall tree).
I was thinking big tooth Aspen....eastern cottonwood (bark is not right). I know it's not birch because of the bark and the size of the tree. I hope it's a beech but doubt it. I may need to go back and look for beech nut pods. Any other ID's? If it's a beech - that's a jackpot.
