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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/76095885@N00/ Might also want to post this to sci.bio.botany Would also help if we knew what part of the world you are from. Sorry about that. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Crossposted to sci.bio.botany. |

That would be the confirmation of it being a Cherry species. |

Prunus serotina - "Black cherry" - is common here in Aiken, SC, not far
from you. Do you remember anything about its flowers or fruit? mhagen wrote: monique wrote: Looks as if it might be a Prunus (cherry.) M.
