What you mean SD? Know better than to give you such a simple example, or I should have known it was cherry, since I have already identified cherry on my place before? If it is the later, I plead it is a young plant without flower stalks and I am still new enough to plant ID to miss it.  ;) :D :D :D

Welcome to the room of the simple minded. Ok, maybe not simple minded. But, bad acting characters at least. ;D

Anyhow, I gotta pick on someone this morning. Tag, your it.  Yeah, it's quarter to one in the morning. :D

Well, WDH confirmed the plant as Cherry. Although it was fairly easy to recognize this week since it had sprouted the racine flower stalks that scream "CHERRY".

With that out of the way, we had a great supper and browsed each other's wood lots through our conversation.  :) 8)

At least I was right about the cherry.

I have a couple of other plants to id. I'll include my choice to see if it is even close.

Plant 1 possible a water hickory







Plant 2 I'm thinking young persimmon (the bark is very similar to a recent ID)







This last one is not a plant, but it could be supper. I found this in my creek.

I bet the hickory is mockernut.  You can see the tomentose rachis (hairy leaf petiole) in the photos. 

You are right about the persimmon.  The last two are dogwood.

That is a good sized mudbug!

Danny, the last two leaf pictures came off the tree with the "persimmon" bark. If you look close in the bark picture, you can see a couple of the leaves sprouting from the trunk.

This is the second time I've seen one that size in the creek. I'll be setting a trap when the water goes down a little. ;)

The little creeks here were always full of them crayfish. Even creeks that dry up in summer, they hide under rocks.

Your last bark and leaves suggests flowering dogwood.

You are right.  Large dogwood and persimmon bark is similar, but persimmon bark is usually much blacker.  I did not notice the sprouts  :)

#1 is definitely not pignut because pignut is smooth, not hairy.

Second one is defintely flowering dogwood, and I agree that the first is most likely a mockernut hickory...the leaf shape and the number of leaflets suggests bitternut hickory (which I thought it was at first), but the abundant bud scales identifies this as a 'true hickory'.  The true hickories have imbricate buds, meaning that the buds have many overlapping scales.  The 'pecan hickories', which includes pecan (of course), bitternut hickory, and water hickory, have naked buds (no scales), so you will not see those bud scales at the base of the new growth after bud break with these species.

If you look carefully at the second hickory leaf picture you will see a leaf that has 9 leaflets.  That is another strong indicator that it is a mockernut.

Um, yes...but that does not rule out bitternut...

Like Dodgy says, those imbricate bud scales (versus valvate) tell the tale on that hickory  :).

Just don't give him a butternut bud. I don't know about hickory so much, but on butternut terminal buds, the outermost pair of scales are feather-like in appearance. :D
