Help me ID this deciduous tree please

[sikadelic]

Hello all. I found several of these trees here locally in SC and don't know exactly what they are. Several have interesting movement near the base and could be collected if they were a desirable species. I have attached a few photos. The leaves look almost like a hickory, but I can't be certain as they are dried up and brown. The tree has held on to about 10% of its dried up, brown, foliage.

One interesting attribute of this tree is the small nubs that are formed all along all branches and most of the trunk. The whole tree, aside from the lowest couple of feet, have them throughout. Also, only one of about 10 or so near my office showed the reddish branch tips.

Thanks in advance!

Chinese Tallow?

You may be correct. I was hoping that wasnt it...

Didn't you ID the last mystery tree thread as a Chinese Tallow as well? LOL

Odd coincidence I guess?

Means I know nothing but to respond "Chinese Tallow" on all mystery trees. LOL

Exactly... Let's try a little test here Dario: Chinese Talo or Chinese Juniper? LOL

It actually looks like a Chinese Tallow leaf he is holding, but what the hell do I know anyway?

I tried looking it up but didn't see any mention of those bumps along the branches. I was hoping that would be a distinguishing attribute of a usable tree. Unfortunately, it looks like these are worthless for bonsai.

They are pretty in the fall though.

The bumps along the branch are next years buds.
