I looked at the Audubon Field Guide Tree book and saw no bark that looked like the pics shown. Definitely need more info for an ID.

Sycamore has two different bark phases...the younger trunks,or upper sections will have the unmistakeable white which phases to having green n grey splotches(like a camo pattern) before it matures to the grey flaky/scaly bark down low on the trunk.

Agreed with the previous need more info. I Espescially say this after seeing only the Bark of that kentucky Smoke tree. If youd have asked me what that was Id have bet my life it was a cherry. The Wild Black Cherry tree Bark around here looks EXACTLY like that! Hard to tell whats what from just a pic of bark

I have only seen smoke trees planted as ornamentals around here. I've never encountered them in the woods. The bark of the one pictured looks more like KY coffeetree to me. I've worked in the woods for the last 25 years, winter dendrology is one of my strengths. That is sycamore kid bow posted...
