Hi all,
For the most part I'm familiar with the flora of NC. This tree however is one I am not sure of. At first glance, I believed it to be a hawthorn, the leaves match but the bark and lack of thorns aren't like the cratageous we have here. My next guess was a variety of viburnum, but again, the bark is not typical of any I have seen. It is possible that this is not a native plant, its growing in dense woods that used to have some sort of structure there maybe 15 years ago. The leaves are serrate and opposite. The bark is beautiful for the trees size, maybe about 1" thick. Sorry for the lame pic, my galaxy didn't want to focus- theyre weird about camera lighting.
Thanks for any help.
