Question
Tree found in a wetland near a brook. Central CT. It had butressed roots. Second photo shows leaves that were coming from a small twig off the main trunk. I'd really appreciate some ID help with this one.
Answer
Dear mark@nature.ninja, thank you for posting multiple images, but I'm not able to help. The bark at the very base of older trees is often not characteristic. A image from 2 or 3 meters higher up the tree is better for identification. The leaf, suggesting this is either a member of the birch or elm families, is simply not close enough or large enough (of an image) for me to help you. If you find yourself in the area of this tree again and can get additional images, I should be able to assist you. Best wishes.
