| I found this tree while walking alongside a river in Southeastern, MA. All I have to ID this tree is the bark (the nearest branch was some 20ft up). Is this crackling of the bark indicative of a certain genus or species?
I have a picture located at: http://f3.yahoofs.com/users/434ae190zd0385284/d10a/__sr_/fb52.jpg?phoV IPEBcqT0RAqy |

| It looks to me like a Beech or White Maple with a bark disease. Hard to tell without seeing a leaf or the branch structure. |
|
| I don't think it is a beech, the bark is much smoother on a beech. However, I don't know what it is either. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to your picture

| Red maple bark looks somewhat like beech in it's smooth stage, then it develops scales a little like the ones in your picture. I can't say with much certaintly but I think it might possibly be a red maple. |
