The first two pics look like hackberry.  No clue on the second tree.

Pictures of leaves and/or buds would be great!  Also location and type of area that the tree was growing could assist in the identification of this tree.

I cannot stress this enough: identifying a tree solely by a picture of its bark is extremely unreliable at best!

We need more information, more pictures. Even a simple picture of the leaves/buds/twigs will help tremendously - to the experienced eye.  More info on the habitat, description of the tree, size reference, locality etc. will also help.

The first two pictures are hackberry.  The last two pictures look like some type of elm.

Show us the tip of the twig so we can see bud and leaf scars. I wouldn't say the first two are hackberry, never seen hackberry with bark like that.... I think the third and forth are either red or silver maple though.

ok, well im located in sunny washington  ::) :o :( really its rainy hear. Size is around 3-5 inches in diameter and is around 25-35ft tall. The last one is around 10-12 inches in diameter and is around 40-60 ft tall. There are some twigs i could get, no real new buds as of yet, no leaves either.


the first two are of the last 2 trees i showed, and the last two are matched with the first one i showed

Both trees appear to have alternate leaves (buds), so we can rule out any maple (including silver maple) which always has opposite leaves.
Hackberry and elm both have alternate leaves, and are still on the list. But the list of course barked trees from Washington with alternate leaves is a long one...

Yeah... I believe darksoul already ruled out the maples.  Thanks for the clarification though. ::)  Josh

I went through about 40 different species on google and I can't find any that are native to Washington that look like the second tree

I agree that the last two look like red or silver maple.
