My neighbor cut down this tree in his yard and I offered to take it off his
hands and add to my firewood collection. However, neither of us has any idea
as to what kind of tree it is. I took some pictures of the leaves, trunk, and
a crossection of the trunk.

The pics remind me of the white dogwood we just took down but I'm certainly
no tree aficionado.

Might also want to post this to sci.bio.botany

Would also help if we knew what part of the world you are from.

Tough to tell without a closer look at the leaves, but it appears to be
some sort of cherry.

Looks as if it might be a Prunus (cherry.)

I can't tell from the photo -- are there very small red "glands" at the
base of the leaf stems? That would be the confirmation of it being a
Cherry species.

The leaf looks a lot like beech but the wood - the heart wood -
doesn't look like the beech I remember.

There's a site out there that takes you through
a set of criteria - bark type, leaf type, tree shape
etc., with pictures of types to choose from. Based
on your choices it will provide the latin and common
name(s) of a tree or trees that meet your selected
criteria, as well as info about the characteristics of
the tree(s) and photos of that type of tree or trees.

do a google search on "tree identification" and you
should find the site.

Prunus serotina - "Black cherry" - is common here in Aiken, SC, not far
from you. Do you remember anything about its flowers or fruit?
