Hi everyone. I am looking at buying a small (23 acre) homesite in Central Ohio. I walked the land today and admired the mature hardwoods lining the field. Most of the woods are walnut and maple, but I found some others that need identification. Can you identify trees from their leaves, or do you need pictures of the bark as well?

Here are 8 trees for your guessing pleasure.

After you click on a picture, click on 'All Sizes' under the file name. This will open up a big picture to help ID the tree.

THANKS!
OH

2 Cornus of sorts
3 Prunus padus
4 Ulmus of sorts
5 Unsure, Fagus of sorts
6 Fraxinus
7 Sorbus torminalis

I was away for a brief interlude, but thanks Guy, didn't think you cared

, anyway I'm with OSB on all but the Ash and I'm going with carya glabra, pignut hickory, tree with a huge taproot that can stand drought well and one of my favorite trees of all (might be a shagbark hick too).
