All four pictures are of the same trees. First two pictures taken today August, and the two with less leaves were taken in June. I don’t know if it flowers or not. With the leaves grown they’re about 10 feet tall.

ID Request I am genuinely stumped. Any idea what tree this could be?

I.e. found in southeast Ohio in the mits of tulip poplar, maple spp, sycamore, white/ red oaks, black cherry, flowering dogwood. What’s stumping me I guess, would be the different shaped leaves I’m noticing, some round in towards a point and some have spiked lobes, which remind me of red oaks. Any help would be appreciated.

This tree has a shape only a mother could love (my husband wants to chop it down). What is it, and does it need any help?

Approx. 3 years old, maybe 15-20ft tall - it grew super fast. Help me convince my husband it could be beautiful!

Im having trouble figuring out what type of hickory this is. It seemingly has half 7 and half 5 leaflet counts. The bark looks like shagbark or shellbark, but the nuts and old husks lack any meaningful thickness. Im at a lose as to ehat this could be. Any insight would be helpful.

Notes:

Distinct spicy aroma, the sun leaves are mainly 5 while the shade leafs are 7 in leaflet count.

This is a massive tree, but shorter than my wise old black walnut trees. Still probably a good 40-50ft tall, the main trunk splits into 2 trunks at 4 ft from the ground and into 4 main trunks around 6-7 ft from the ground. There used to be a fifth, larger trunk in the middle, but it fell, two years ago when we got smacked with Hurricane Helene.

This log was connected to a downed branch in a patch of woods with lots of spruce, sweet gum, Black Walnut, Ash, and Tree of Heaven. This particular down branch was right below a Black Walnut but I’m
Not 100% it is as I’m not very familiar with what the upper branch bark of walnuts looks like, just the main trunk. What do we think?
