Any of you able to ID this tree from the bark? I have a whole tree to take down eventually, and I was curious what it is. This is a branch that had broken off. The bottom picture is the piece with the chain grown into it.

This does not look like any hackberry I have ever seen. I see a lot of hackberry, smooth and rough bark.


This is 100% hackberry. Is it the same tree?

Not Hackberry then..

Especially not KS Hackberry..

Looks almost like a basswood or something similar. Yard tree??
Maybe Liquid Amber tree?

Yessir, it's a yard tree. It's a biggun, even though one of the large branches already broke off, which is why it's eventually going to come down.

Yes, same tree. The second set of pics, is a piece from the branch in the first picture, in the first post I posted.

It's Hackberry. Some is smooth like that.

It's pretty different looking from all the other species out here, so I'll be able to ID it from here on out. I've only dealt with it twice. It's pretty dense wood when it's wet. Not quite locust dense, but it's got some weight to it.

They're pretty trees. It's a shame this one went downhill the past 2 ice storms.

Forgot my manners.........thanks for the help fellas. I appreciate it. I knew someone, if not multiple people here would know what it was. Knowledgeable bunch of fellas, you guys are.

I'll have to let the owner of it know what it is. He wants to replant one, when I remove this one, but he wasn't sure what it was and neither was I, obviously.

I picked up some logs to make into cookies today. There's a local tree service that posts on Facebook whenever they are doing tree work--which is daily. They post the address and time and all you have to do is show up with your trailer and they load it. On big multiple day jobs they will even let you drop off your trailer if you can't be there and they'll load it.

That’s a very nice way to accomplish a task and make disposal easy.

Depending on the logs it could make it a challenge to off load when you get them home.

Think tractor with loader or skid steer @Hinerman :D
A man can dream. Those mini skid steers are handy. My friend has one for his tree service. They load me up whenever I can make it to their work site. Unloading can be a hassle sometimes..

I've got a vision of chainsaw milled planks, top n bottom bench seats. That was the only way the 3000# log was coming off the trailer a few years ago. Sold slabs that I didn't use for fair profit over fuel on 170 miles round trip and thru chainsaw
