  • Tree with warts is a Hackberry.

    • Came here to say the same thing. According to Roy Underhill, it is the best wood for steam bending, the berries are edible but have almost no flesh on them.

    • a Hackberry tree has rather narrow leaves and the bark is rough, but not usually that bumpy. They also have an aggressive root system with large major roots.

    • By summer, hackberry leaves will be covered in green "warty" galls.

  • Those carpet roots happen when the soil is saturated and oxygen is low. Same happens with shallow bedrock. Its called a limiting layer. Trees that require deeper roots typically die in saturated soils.

  • Head of the pond looks like a spot I was cleaning up last summer. Found out about halfway through that I was riding on a crust about 2' thick when all of the sudden it broke like ice. Next thing I knew I was floorboard deep the muck 😮😮😂😂😂. Finally got it out 7 hours later. I was just about ready to call you for help. Thanks for all the instruction and wisdom!!

  • If it wasn’t so difficult to transport, this would be a fun and awesome place to setup the dragline. Here in Kansas we have so many of those Hackberry trees. They get huge. (3-5 foot diameter trunks.) They are excellent firewood. One unique thing is in the winter you can cut them and easily burn them the same day.

  • My guess is that there was always a pond there and at some point it was enlarged by damming up the bank on the lowest side, hence the reason it has that beauty and natural character…I’d have left more trees :-) especially the hackleberry! It was a fine specimen and considering how old, tall and majestic it can grow, would have enhanced the site. I’m glad you and the owner do talk about what trees to keep though :-)

  • Lol...unintentionally I washed an excavator's front glass one cool morning, with muddy water. But wait!...the glass was fully open and I soaked my body, clean clothing, seat and the rest of the cab's interior. And my two top employees were standing, waiting for me to "drain the swamp"....and I did!!!! At least I rasied the worker's moral for the remainder of the week. The boss/worker relationship was greatly improved for everyone but me!

  • From a google search: Celtis occidentalis (American Hackberry, Beaverwood, Common Hackberry, False Elm, Hackberry, Nettle Tree, Northern Hackberry). Similar to or the same as European hackberry. It is native to the Mediterranean region including parts of southern Europe, northern Africa and western Asia. In Australia it is know as Celtis australis. It is a deciduous tree with a wide spreading crown. It competes with native plants and forms dense stands along waterways.
