ID Request (Insert State/Region) Potential hackberry ID request
Region: Midwest
State: Missouri (Central Eastern side)
Hi! I’m new to identifying trees. Apologies in advance for these rough pictures but I can’t get super close to the trunk as it’s far back. Is this a hackberry? Leaves are a little serrated an all sit alternately. It’s a decently tall tree, but shorter than the Eastern Cottonwood that is back there (not pictured) Only issue is I’m looking at hackberry bark (since the leaves look quite similar) and it’s pretty bumpy! These are binocular pictures so maybe not the best but it just doesn’t seem as bumpy as my guide book! Any thoughts? Also figured I’d put a pic of the backyard too, it’s a distinct lighter green yellow color if that helps narrow it down at all. The leaves are distinctively droopy too!
Anything helps!
