OB tree experts, help needed

Bark looks like a Hackberry.

Tree #2 looks like a red maple. Any better leaves on #1?

Yea, not real sure those are from the same tree they are growing on. The leaves on the bottom left look like water oak.

It's an oak I'm pretty sure, and I've seen water oak have some weird looking leaves. That was my initial thought, but I'm on my phone and the leaves are all eaten up

I've seen both water and live oak leaves look pretty similar to other oak trees when they are new (definitely not a live oak though). It all depends where they are. I've seen water oaks have leaves 12" long, and I've seen live oak leaves look just like cow oak in the wild. Just need better pictures of the leaves in the tree and the shape of the tree

I agree on that. It's just not a good enough set of pictures to give a definitive answer

Jesus. This is exactly like something a teacher would do to stump students on a test. Post picture of only bark from up close, with photos of leaves from tiny vines growing on the tree.

From the second photo I'd say it's either a water oak or a willow oak. It's not a maple, sugarbeery, cow oak, or anything else mentioned this far. Good pictures would definitely help.

Edit. Never mind. Kinda drunk here. I don't know what it is. take some better pics and post before 8pm and I can help maybe.

Those are definitely Hackberry leaves.

Yea, that is what I said in my original post. These are the ones I was talking about looking like water oak.



My point was that you have to see leaves on an actual branch to know what you are looking at.

Sugar berry, rednecks call it hackberry, there's a hackberry too, they look identical, site (where it's growing) usually determines which species is which. So, it mifpght be a hackberry, hope this helps.
