Name that Tree

[canny]

Good call Ryan.

So are the serrated leaves hackberry & the smooth leaves sugarberry; but the bark is the same on both?

Or are they the same tree w/ different leaf variations?

Most of the ones around here have this type of leaf, and these nodules always seem to be on them.

They are very, very similar in leaf shape and bark appearance. I actually do not know the real difference other than that one grows in the south and the other in the north.

Hackberry (Celtis laevigata)

The actual Hackberry is Celtis occidentalis and is only found in the panhandle part of the state.

Yep. Seen this many times. Seems they don't have a very deep root structure.

Rooting Habit- Sugarberry is a relatively shallow-rooted tree and does not develop a distinct taproot. The root system is saucer-shaped with good lateral root development. The tree is about average in resistance to windthrow.
