Identify this tree.
« on: June 20, 2016, 01:05:29 am »
This tree had what looked like a birch top with leaves, not needles. Birch trees are more distinctive. Is this red alder?

Honestly looked like a birch tree. The tree top had leaves and the bark was very identical to paper birch. I looked up red alder and this looks like it. Could be wrong.

Conifers have needles, not leaves. This tree had leaves.

Red Elm? Black Mulberry? Linden?

Is that heart-shaped leaf in the photo from the tree in question? If so I'm leaning black mulberry. The heartwood is pretty.

It's not alder, alder goes orange when air touches it.
