You have a sassafras tree with the "unmitten" leaves. The key to id is the
fruit.

I was in my woods today and saw a tree I could not identify, we are in
east
central Missouri and I looked in the tree guide from the Mo Dept Of
Conservation but still could not figure it out. It caught my eye because
I
was looking for a tall straight thin tree to make chair legs and
stretchers. It is only about 2" in diam. but almost 15-20'
tall and only has branches towards the top , of course it is in the middle
of the woods. I have a picture of the leaves and small branches if you
want
to take a look. I think the file is appox. 700k. Thanks

Thanks very much, I have never seen one that shape before, seems I always
see them smaller and more shrub like.
