    It’s right on my way back-and-forth to work. Wish I had known it was coming down I could’ve brought my trailer and saw.

    The hickory trees I'm used to seeing have compound leaves with oppositional leaflets

    They also don't have teeth.

    It looks like...
    Sibreian elm. It's a nuisance/considered invasive.

    It seems you guys are right about the leaves. I only really know my maple and oak leaves. Apart from those I need to look up leaves. When I first saw the cut trunk I figured it was some sort of red maple. But the leaves threw me, that’s why I was thinking hickory. It was growing in a purpose built road division. There were at least two of these, which leads me to believe they were purposely planted by the town at some point.

    Pignut and southern shagbark hickory both have toothed leaves but the arrangement of leaves in your larger picture does look different I am not familiar with siberian elm I thought it liked more of southwest climate? and wood from it is supposed to be very brittle Maybe a landscape hybrid? of elm but wood sure looks like some kind of hickory I am not a horticulture expert I just cut them down and watch em burn :whistle:

    :BrianK:Remember this acronym to help identify trees by leafing and branching: MAD HORSE. It stands for Maple, Ash, Dogwood and Horsechestnut, aka buckeye These are the only North American deciduous trees with opposite leafing and branching. It takes in all varieties of each species. For example box elder is in the maple family.

    By the way, the leaves say elm.:salute:

    Looks like Elm leaves, but the wood is so dark. Our Elm wood is white.

    The leaves of American elm have symmetrical lobes while red elm leaves (slippery elm) have asymmetrical lobes.

    Siberian elm has asymmetrical lobes and much smaller leaves.

    The leaves and the wood look like Siberian Elm but the bark is off by what I'm used to in my area.

    So you figure Siberian Elm? I have 3 of them. They make a real mess with the branches and twigs.

    Sorry for the poor pictures. I picked them off the ground under the snow.

    I was wrong hickory is toothed.
    I recently saw free big wood thought it was walnut by the Craigslist pics, until I I'd the leaves. Bust!
    That's the only reason I know sibearian elm:rofl: :lol:
