[Elim]

Cherry is my guess.

Good luck!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Zap, does it have nuts?

 

[wood-fan-atic]

Thats kind of a personal question, isnt it Sav?

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Well, male or female?

 

[thewoodlands]

Female.

[Wood Duck]

Zap, Opposite compound leaves means that is an ash. I can't tell which species. I wouldn't guess ash based on the bark, but unless I am wrong about those leaves being opposite, it is an ash.

The ash we have from what I've seen is white.

Ironwood

 

[Wood Duck]

The bark looks a lot like Hop hornbeam (Ironwood), but the leaves definitely aren't Hop Hornbeam. At first I wondered if the leaves are from the same tree as the bark.

I thought cherry first but the bark looks different.

Leaf looks compound which would eliminate cherry or hophornbeam. Shoot color looks green which would say Ash, but could be a English Walnut or perhaps butternut. Z

I'm leaning towards Black Ash based on the bark from the photo as it appears to be scaly and flaky rather than furrows and ridges of white ash. Is it growing in a wet area ? That's where they grow in the wild.

Ironwood My vote! :cheese:

We have a small swamp in that area, this spring and summer it's been full. (Low area that collects all the run off.)

I think that seals the deal that's exactly where they like to grow.

 

[nrford]

No doubt in my mind Black Ash!

 

[Wood Duck]

It looks like the leaflets are not stalked (they grow from the main stem of the leaf without a stalk), which is one more indication for Black Ash.

Field Guide sez the scaly plates of Black Ash bark "rub off easily" and "takes its name from the dark brown heartwood." Zap?
