tree ID, please...Hackberry?
« on: July 25, 2013, 09:38:04 am »
I was out looking at property the other day and saw a tree I was unfamiliar with. I wasn't sure if Hackberry is native to Mississippi or not, but thought one of you guys might help me ID it. I put a picture of the "berries" and the bark.

I don't think it is Bradford Pear. My neighborhood is full of them. You can't see it from the pick, but this tree is tall like an Oak. I'm not used to seeing berries on a big tree like this. I may call the owner to see if he knows what it is. If I find out, I will let you know.

Looks like some sort of Ornamental Crab Apple tree to me.

Get a close up photo of the fruit if you can.

If it fruits, its has to be decent bow wood.

There are several varieties of ornamental pear, Bradford being one. The Bradfords are bad to split in the wind, the one in the picture is the hardier variety that won't split, don't know the name. I have a row of the same trees on the lot next to me.

Never seen that variety of pear but it does look a lot like bradford pear except for the bark. Id be interested to know how big the pears get? Ive seen a couple of so-called wild pear trees around here with fruit about the size of a golf ball when it matures. The best way to identify bradford pear is to stand next to the tree and fart, if it splits in half then its bradforf pear ;D

After a little research I believe I have found this tree. Not a Bradford Pear or other ornamental pear, but a Chinese Tallow Tree (Triadica Sebifera). The bark and leaf shape were a big factor in the ID and of course the fruit as well. It is considered an invasive species:

Ya got that right, 4dog.  But that is the implied question every time our eye scans anything slightly tree-like!
