Is there a better group for this question?

I have been trying to ID a tree that I have in my yard.

Can you post a picture on a Web site? Try sci.bio.botany, but be warned, if you
haven't Googled or consulted a field guide, you may get some rude answers. My
first suggestion would be to buy yourself a field guide to North American
trees, Eastern edition. They are not expensive.
