Identify tree from bark and cross section? #885209
Asked September 13, 2024, 9:11 PM EDT
Are you able to tell me what kind of tree the logs are from in the attached pictures? I know it's deciduous, but I didn't get a picture of the leaves before it fell down in a recent storm and the County came and cut it up. It was blown over after a rain, with the ground being so wet.
Anne Arundel County Maryland
Expert Response
Unfortunately no, we can't ID the tree from the images alone and foliage can be key for separating trees with similar-looking bark. If you do find foliage you can photograph (maybe pieces left behind that weren't ground-up or hauled away by the county), we're happy to take a look.
