Trunk up to 1 m (39 in) in diameter (rarely 1.4 m or 56 in). It reaches its largest size in southern Illinois and Indiana, although the national champion is 104' by 68' in Cincinnati, Ohio. Bark: Light brown, scaly; on young stems light brown, smooth. Branchlets slender, dark green and shining at first, later become light brown, finally dark brown.
Pinus ponderosa is a large coniferous pine tree. The bark helps distinguish it from other species. Mature to overmature individuals have yellow to orange-red bark in broad to very broad plates with black crevices. [14] Younger trees have blackish-brown bark, [14] referred to as "blackjacks" by early
J. cinerea is a deciduous tree growing to 30 metres (98 ft) tall, rarely more. [5] Butternut is a slow-growing species, and rarely lives longer than 75 years. It has a 40–80 cm (16–31 in) stem diameter, with light gray bark.
Bark beetles enter trees by boring holes in the bark of the tree, sometimes using the lenticels, or the pores plants use for gas exchange, to pass through the bark of the tree. [3] As the larvae consume the inner tissues of the tree, they often consume enough of the phloem to girdle the tree, cutting off the spread of water and nutrients.
Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen.It is commonly called quaking aspen, [2] [3] [4] trembling aspen, [2] [3] American aspen, [3] mountain or golden aspen, [5] trembling poplar, [5] white poplar, [5] and popple, [5] as well as others.

Bark Maturing fruit Mature fruit Mature trunk. Growth and yield: The hickories as a group grow slowly in diameter, and shellbark hickory is no exception. Sapling size trees average 2 mm (3 ⁄ 32 in) per year in diameter growth, increasing to 3 mm (1 ⁄ 8 in) per year as poles and sawtimber.
In the northern part of its range, Quercus velutina is a relatively small tree, reaching a height of 20–25 metres (66–82 feet) and a diameter of 90 centimetres (35 inches), but it grows larger in the south and center of its range, where heights of up to 42 m (138 ft) are known.
The bark is thin and scaly, flaking off in small, circular plates 5–20 centimeters (2–8 in) across. The inner bark is reddish-brown. [4] The crown is broad conic in young trees, becoming cylindric in older trees; old trees may not have branches lower than 30–40 meters (98–131 ft).
