anyone know the types of tree's

[bobbykelley]

My back yard is a swamp but my neighbors backyard I can get in, at least more then mine. Well he said I could cut some tree's so I picked up some leaves and was wondering if I could get some help in iding them. I think two of them maybe red maple but not sure on the others. Thanks in advance.

I believe there is a sweetgum and perhaps a buckeye in there.  The two on the botto look like too many kinds of trees around here.  The others may be maples hard to tell.

sweetgum is the 5 pointed star, the ovate ones might be cherry, and the others might be maple. Better pics would help.

The two palmate ones on the left are sweet gum. Where do you live. That makes a differencs as to what trees grow there.

I live in north Florida.  These tree's are growing on a creek bank. Can sweet gum make a good bow?

[Pat B]

If you can get it to split it probably would make a good bow. Sweetgum is more fiberous than elm.

If you find any of the little round spike balls laying around, then the five point leafs are from sweetgum.

Can sweet gum make a good bow?

it can.  I had a stave and let it dry for several months as a whole log.  When I went to split it the grain was way too twisted.  Other than that I wasn't terrible to split.  I've had a more difficult time splitting oak than sweet gum.  It does smell sweet though!
