The pictures aren't that great but was wondering if anyone would know what type of tree this is. There are about two dozen over a 1/2 mile along a water way. There are Ash trees not that far from where these small saplings are starting to grow with in the last four years. You can see other small saplings starting in the picture also.

The bark looks like a cherry tree .don't know if they grow
That far west....

Elm trees

I think Spike369 is correct.

No cherry tree but I guess they could be elm. Don't know of elm here in this area though but maybe they are. There are choke cherry patch about a mile away. If you break the small branches, they don't smell like choke cherry either.

I would guess they are Ash trees.

The leaves in the first picture look like Ash to me.

Doesn't look like any elm but could be ash.

Ash. Elm don’t have opposite branches.

Thanks all and I'm thinking ash also with what I have looked at they seem to be ash. How they branch off of man trunk like ash also. Thank You all.

Looks very similar to a Bradford pear. They are very invasive.

I don't think there are enough leaves per leaflet grouping to be in the ash family. They look like elm, maybe slippery elm etc. or elm that like wetter conditions.

Green ash.First to go to sleep and last to awake . common in se Mt

Yep, exactly the ash trees here in my yard (mature) are just starting to cluster leaves just like those now. The trunk and how they branch are typical of ash and leaf pattern points to ash.

What ever they are they have taken over alot of ground hear.
The locals call them Chinese Elm or Ash.

Appears to be White ash. Note the compound leaves and the opposite pattern of branching.

Pete

Yes.

Pete in Frbks >>> Yes I agree, Thanks.

Trapper7 >>> Thanks and I'm 100% sure they are ash.

White ash cant get their feet wet = high drainage
Green ash can have their feet wet for a week or two = spring melt pools areas ith ferns
Black ash can put up going under for a month in the spring = river flood plains

The trees do show a scale insect on them a Coccidae[u][/u]
typical for ash
