Can anyone tell me what this tree is? I have several in my new yard and do not know. Thanks!
Help Identifying Tree, Please
You can reply to your own post, and add a picture each time.
Show some closer images of leaves, stems, any fruit or flowers, trunk, etc.
From this distance, I'm sensing a Hackberry of some sort - but that's kinda WAG-ing.
Thanks, I'll go take some more
Chinese Elm Ulmus parvifolia

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate that. It kind of has the bark of a birch but definately NOT the leaves. I thought they looked elm also. They are pretty trees.
Agreed. At least Celtis sp. falls in Ulmaceae...

Not any more, Celtis is in Cannabaceae now ;-)

I have NO IDEA what you guys are talking about! :-)
Oh, ok..... please continue ^_^
Cannabaceae? You are making that up.
If it isn't in Gray, Rehder or Krussmann, it just can't be true.
OK, maybe a Spell Czech is in order. Could you mean Cannabinaceae, lumped in with Cannabis spp. and Humulus spp.? Googling this offers both spellings with the same plants - so this must be it.
Just shaking my head...
Oh, ok..... please continue ^_^
Basically, DNA analysis showed that Celtis is more closely related to Cannabis than it is to Ulmus.

Hackberry and Hemp are cohorts in KY - with Hemp being the former extensive agronomic crop.
Hmmm.....wondering if should move to Kentucky....nahhhh.
