I may be wishful thinking; my goal was find this species today growing wild. The first pic was the first tree I looked at so I'm thinking I couldn't be that lucky. The other pics i took of this specimen turned out terrible, so this is all I got. The second two pics are of a different young tree that I'm thinking might be a hickory of some sort.
First one wild cherry- Check the bark, and look for ugly black gall on a branch.
I can tell tupelo by very horizontal thin branches
Second one I think you are right with some hickory. ... I am checking for opposite V alternate. I'm not totally sure what I see there.

Please accept my apologies. That clearly hit you in a way I did not intend. It's the nature of written posts to sometimes not convey the right message.
I just edited out the last sentence because of exactly what you wrote back, but you got to it first, so accept my apologies as well.
Hugs all around!!
Yes, hugs for everyone! I'd also like a Sam Adams as well....
Sounds great!
