    I cut some of this same kind of tree years back and was told it's ironwood(?) I looked that up and can't find anything similar, searched the image and nothing similar came up either.
    Is it hornbeam of some type? IMG20220609095024.jpg IMG20220609095028.jpg

    Yep Wild Hackberry (Celtis larvigata) aka sugar berry. Really tough trouble free trees.
