Title: Tree I D help y'all
Post by: TarheelTurk on October 15, 2013, 11:03:34 PM
I have a few call blanks from this tree that was topped earlier this year. It's about 14/16" around. I was told I was a type of cherry tree, do you agree ? I can give a call blank o finished call pic if needed thanks in advance Jason (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/16/a8emunun.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/16/a2epygys.jpg)

Its not black cherry.  The leaves are wrong as the black cherry has longer slender leaves and the bark does not have horizontal banding.

I looked it up in my National Audubon Field guide to trees and I am 99% sure its a Sweet cherry."Prunus avium" 

Grows 50 to 70' tall and around 1.5' wide.  Leaf shape is a great match as well as the bark with the noticeable horizontal banding.

Thank You again for the help I appreciate it a bunch ! Jason. Btw I posted a call I made from it in the call section
