Good morning. Can someone help in identifying this tree? Height: 40-50 feet Base diameter: approximately 1 foot Bark: shaggy Location: eastern Ontario Photo of leaf and fruit attached.
Might be Ostrya virginiana, American/Eastern Hophornbeam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrya_virginiana Welcome to the Forum!
Thank you. The photos in the link you provided, as well as those in the subsequent links, look like they could have been taken in our yard.
