3) What are some good references for finding out this kind of
information about different trees? (I have the Petersons Guide but I'm
looking for more detail.)

A favorite reference is Silvics (Forest Ecology) of North America online
at:

A bit technical but lots of good information. It helps to know the
Latin name.

Thanks! Great site! I am learning Latin names - I've found it helps me
to say them with an Italian accent. Celtis occidentalis! (Although
they're only small-medium here when they're quite young. They grow like
weeds - this year I transplanted the yearlings out of my garden to the
wisteria jungle.)

Peace,
