Question
Hello, I am looking for help ID’ing a tree. We believe it was planted as a landscape tree, so likely not wild, maybe not native, but if you are willing to look at it I’d appreciate it. Tree is in Central Mass, likely planted in the early 1960’s by great-grandfather (a forester), currently 20-25’ tall, branches kind of gnarly/deformed, lower branches sweep to the ground then lift up at their tips. No noticeable fruit, I don’t believe there are catkins. Thank you, Maryanne
Answer
Dear Maryanne, good morning. I can't tell you for certain who you have photographed. The leaves represent two different species. Those on the right appear to be Populus grandidentata (big-toothed poplar), the other (on the left) may be Morus alba (white mulberry). I would need to see more leaves to be certain. Best wishes.
