I know this isn't a binary group, so I'll post the image as a link

Someone told me that this was a birch, but for some reason I thought Birch
trees didn't look like this. By the way I took this photo about 3 weeks
ago, the leaves aren't that much bigger now. I posted a down low shot due
to the fact the tree is pretty busted up and I'd say dead. This is the
prettiest angle I could get of it.

BTW: This might be a double post for some, I accidentially sent it to
rec.woodworking - not sure if that qualifies as a Freudian slip given the
topic.

From the bark I would guess a Prunus sp. Perhaps a wild plum? Did it
have flowers in the spring?

No flowers yet, it does produce some small white flowers around this time,
may not have bloomed yet our winter was a little more harsh than normal.

Then it's definitely not a birch; birches have catkins, with very small
greenish flowers.

Then it could very well be a plum. I hadn't even considered that this tree
might be a fruit treee, although I highly doubt it produces anything.
