Question
Hello! Another small tree volunteering by my foundation in South Hadley, MA. Is this a hornbeam or something else? Thank you!
Answer
Dear matociquala, good morning. This is most likely a small Betula alleghaniensis (yellow birch). You should be able to confirm this by bruising a small portion of the bark and seeking a wintergreen odor. Best wishes.
