Certainly not hackberry, an elm, probably rock elm, possibly American. The oak looks like black oak. Hard to be sure on a young one without acorns or mature bark.

The first one is a Winged Elm (Ulmus alata)
The Winged Elm is found locally in MD.

The second one I pretty sure is a Shumard oak (Quercus shumardii) Small Shumard oak leaves do not look like mature Shumard oak foliage. It also is isolated and native to southern central MD.

Thanks. I'm going to ask ignorant questions here, because I had previously eliminated the elms.

* I thought American Elms had all gotten Dutch Elm disease and died off?

* I wasn't able to see any cork "wings" on the branches, so I eliminated Winged Elm. Do the wings matter?

Yes, almost all the American Elms died off in many areas through out the Northeast years ago but there where some that survived. Winged Elm is susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease but there is a chance they are somewhat more resistant to DED than American Elm also the disease did not spread as fast or as much in areas that were not covered in tons elms lined up and down through streets and cities.

I'm about 100% sure it is a Elm by the looks. And the bark and leaves look exactly like a Winged Elm. I think Winged Elms can vary in how much they make wings but I'm not total sure. I have a Winged Elm in our woods that you can't see hardly any wings but only few small wings in the high branches are noticeable. But most Winged Elms I see are covered in Wings.

Here is some background on the elm.

Agree with Treeguy on the first, definitely an elm, though I'm not sure which one myself.

Second to me looks more like Quercus rubra (Northern Red Oak), with its fairly large, matt-textured leaves. Shumard is usually glossy above. A close-up of the underside of the leaf will help tell between Northern Red and Black (NR is 'clean' beneath, whereas Black usually has some scurfy orange pubescence).

If that first one was hackerry, the bark would have warts all over it. It doesn't look like hackberry bark in th small glimpse that we have there.

I counted Northern Red Oak out because the leavers are almost always larger and rounded at the apex no madder what the age and narrow at the leaf base. Shumard oak does not have to be glossy, our Shumard oak seedling look just like that. It would not be a black oak because they usually have very large rounded leaves with very shallow sinuses. And Scarlet Oak seedling always usually have no more that 5 lobes as a seedling.

But I would definitely call it between Northern Red Oak and Shumard Oak. I'm thinking it looks more like a Shumard from what I see.

One more picture showing the habit:

I've looked up and down and don't see any wings at all on any branches.

Should I call County Extension and tell them I might have a 30' American Elm they should look at? :)

Thanks,
Jeff

It can't hurt to call - any American Elm of decent size that hasn't be struck down by DED is worthy of note.

jrcagle,
Whenever possible include flower or fruit description in your requests. Your first pic is not American Elm. Describe the texture of the leaves, is it like sandpaper?
If you have questions about your lawn or tomatoes by all means call County extension.
If you have questions about trees contact a bonifide forester with the DNR. They are knowledgeable about tree ID. They maintain champion tree list state by state. You should know, there is a 91' American Elm near Buckeystown.
